UPC/EAN
Add-ons
There are many ways to configure the scanner to handle add-ons. The
scanner uses four filters that can be specified to define how add-ons
will be handled. The following is true for each filter.
• Each add-on type can be disabled, required or optional.
• Any combination of the four UPC/EAN symbologies can be
affected.
• The 2-digit, 5-digit and C128 add-ons can be individually
configured.
• The leading digits of the base labels affected can be specified.
This programming guide supports the following add-on filters for
UPC/EAN:
• Required means that UPC/EAN labels MUST contain a
2-digit, 5-digit or C128 add-on segment in order for the scanner
to recognize or decode them.
• Optional directs the scanner to recognize UPC/EAN bar codes
with or without P2, P5 or C128 2-digit add-on segments.
• Disable Add-ons means the scanner will not recognize or
decode any add-on segment of UPC/EAN labels, but will read
and decode the standard UPC/EAN portion of the label.
NOTE
The settings below represent only a small por-
tion of the options available for this feature.
Contact your sales representative or service
provider if you need more assistance with
advanced add-on settings.
NOTE
Due to the structure of add-on codes, selecting
the optional setting makes it impossible to
ensure that the scanner will always read the
add-on portion of the label. PSC makes no
guarantee, either written or implied, that scan-
ners with optional add-on decoding enabled
will perform with the speed and accuracy
required for any given application.
