ISBN (International Standard Book Numbering) bar codes are EAN-13
with a 5-digit supplement. If the “Bookland” bar code uses 978
(books) or 977 (periodicals) as the first three digits, then the RF
Terminal can transmit it in the ISBN format. The settings for this are
found under the
Laser Options
parameter. To enable transmission of
the ISBN format, set the
Laser Options
parameter to
D.
To return to
the default of normal EAN-13 transmission, set it to
