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). The following options are available:

If you select Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplementals, and the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN
plus supplemental symbol, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters.

If you select Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals, the scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with
supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.

If you select Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN symbols with
supplemental characters immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must
decode the bar code the number of times set via

UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 13-12

before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.

If you select one of the following Supplemental Mode options, the scanner immediately transmits EAN-13
bar codes starting with that prefix that have supplemental characters. If the symbol does not have a
supplemental, the scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via

UPC/EAN Supplemental

Redundancy on page 13-12

before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental. The

scanner transmits UPC/EAN bar codes that do not have that prefix immediately.
