Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals
Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g.,
UPC-A+2, UPC-E+2, EAN 13+2). Three 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 Supplemental Redundancy value from the next page. A
value of 5 or more is recommended.
•Select Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode to enable only EAN-13 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.

recommended that you select either to decode or ignore
supplemental characters.
