without supplementals are not decoded.
• If Ignore Supplementals is selected, and the scanner is presented with a
UPC/EAN with a supplemental, the UPC/EAN is decoded and the supplemental
bar code is ignored.
• An autodiscriminate option is also available. If this option is selected, choose an
appropriate

value of 5 or more is recommended.Select Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode
