Decode Upc/Ean Supplementals - Symbol DS 3478 Product Reference Manual

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). Six 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 digital scanner encounters a UPC/EAN with a supplemental, it
decodes the UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental bar code.
• If selecting Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, choose an appropriate supplemental redundancy value. See
UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy on page
• Select Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13 bar codes starting with a '378' or '379' prefix by the
supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN bar codes are exempt from the search and are reported instantly upon
decode.
• Select Enable 978 Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13 bar codes starting with a '978' prefix by the supplemental
search process. All other UPC/EAN bar codes are exempt from the search and are reported instantly upon decode.
• Select Enable Smart Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13 bar codes starting with a '378,' '379,' or '978' prefix by
the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN bar codes are exempt from the search and are reported instantly upon
decode.
To minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, select either to decode or ignore supplemental characters.
