Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals
Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC
A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 13+2). Six options are available.
• If Decode UPC/EAN Only With Supplementals is selected, UPC/EAN symbols
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 UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy value from the next page.
A value of 14 or more is recommended.
• Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode to enable only EAN13 bar codes starting
with a ‘378’ or ‘379’ prefix to be delayed by the supplemental search process. All
other UPC/EAN bar codes are exempted from the search and are reported instantly
upon their decode.
• Select Enable 978 Supplemental Mode to enable only EAN13 bar codes starting
with a ‘978’ prefix to be delayed by the supplemental search process. All other
UPC/EAN bar codes are exempted from the search and are reported instantly upon
their decode.
• Select Enable Smart Supplemental Mode to enable only EAN13 bar codes
starting with a ‘378’, ‘379’, or ‘978’ prefix to be delayed by the supplemental
search process. All other UPC/EAN bar codes are exempted from the search and
are reported instantly upon their decode.
In order to minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, it is
recommended to select either to decode or ignore supplemental
characters.
