in the right packaging.
Definition: UPC (Universal Product Code) is a fixed length numeric, continuous sym-
bology. UPC can have two- or five-digit supplemental symbol data follow-
ing the normal symbol. The U.P.C., Version A (U.P.C., A) symbol is used to
encode a 12 digit number. The first digit is the number system character,
the next five are the manufacturer number, the next five are the product
number, and the last digit is the checksum character.
When enabled, the scanner will read UPC version A and UPC version E
only.
