UPC/EAN
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
supplemental is not decoded, at the end of the read cycle, the main will be sent by itself.
Required
When set to Required, both the main and the supplemental symbols must be read or a
single noread condition results.
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 the 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.
