Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals
Parameter # 10h
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/JAN Only With Supplementals is selected, UPC/EAN/JAN symbols without
supplementals are not decoded.
•
If Ignore Supplementals is selected, and the digital imager scanner is presented with a
UPC/EAN/JAN with a supplemental, the UPC/EAN/JAN 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 5 or more is
recommended.
•
Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting with a ‘378’ or
‘379’ prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN/JAN bar codes are exempt from the
search and are reported instantly upon decode.
•
Select Enable 978 Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting with a ‘978’
prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN/JAN bar codes are exempt from the
search and are reported instantly upon decode.
•
Select Enable Smart Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting with a ‘378’,
‘379’, or ‘978’ prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN/JAN bar codes are exempt
from the search and are reported instantly upon decode.
