Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals :
Parameter # 0x10
Supplementals are appended characters (2 or 5) according to specific code
format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2). To enable or disable EAN-
13, scan the appropriate bar code below.:
• If Decode UPC/EAN with Supplemental characters is selected, the
scanner does not decode UPC/EAN symbols without supplemental
characters.
• If Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplemental characters is selected, and the
SE-955 is presented with a UPC/EAN symbol with a supplemental,
the scanner decodes the UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental
characters.
• If Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals is selected, scan De
-
code UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 8-25, then select
a value from the numeric bar codes beginning on page 8-71. A value
of 5 or more is recommended.
• Select Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode to enable the SE-955 to
identify supplementals for EAN-13 bar codes starting with a ‘378’ or
‘379’ prefix only. All other UPC/EAN bar codes are decoded immedi-
