Symbologies

Supplementals Status (UPC/EAN)

Disabled

UPC

Supplementals

will not be decoded.

Enabled

When enabled, the scanner will try to decode a main and a supplemental. However, if a supplemen-

tal is not decoded, at the end of the read cycle, the main will be sent by itself. The UPC main and

supplemental symbols are considered to be one symbol and will be treated as such.

Required

When set to

Required

and either the main or supplemental symbol is not read, a single

noread condition results. The UPC main and supplemental symbols are treated as one

symbol.
For example, if

Supplementals

is set to

Required

Separator

is enabled, and an asterisk

is defined as the UPC separator character, then the data will be displayed as: MAIN *

SUPPLEMENTAL.

Note

Under no circumstances will supplemental symbol data be sent without a main sym-

bol.

Note

If additional symbols—other than the main or supplemental—will be read in the

same read cycle,

Number of symbols

should be set accordingly.

Separator Status (UPC/EAN)

Note

UPC

must be enabled for

EAN

to take effect.

Usage:

Reads

Supplementals

typically used in publications and documentation.

Definition:

A supplemental is a 2 or 5 digit symbol appended to the main symbol.

When set to

Enabled

Required

, the scanner reads supplemental symbol

data that has been appended to the standard UPC or EAN codes.
