Supplementals Status
Disabled
UPC
Supplementals will not be decoded.
Enabled
When enabled, the reader will try to decode a main and a supplemental. However, if a
supplemental 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 symbol.
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
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

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