UPC A and E Preamble(s)
Three options are available for the lead-in characters for decoded UPC-A or UPC-E symbols
transmitted to the host device. Select one preamble for UPC-A decodes and one for UPC-E
decodes. These lead-in characters are considered part of the symbol itself. The three options
are:
•
a system character only
•
the country code and system character
•
no preamble
The system character is the digit printed to the extreme left of a UPC symbol. The country
code for UPC is always zero, and it cannot be transmitted without the system character.
