Convert Ean-8 To Ean-13; Upc-A / Upc-E Preambles - Allen-Bradley 2-D User Manual

UPC / EAN Options (Continued)

Convert EAN-8 to EAN-13

When enabled, five leading zeros are added to decoded EAN 8
symbols. The five zeros make the EAN 8 symbols compatible with
the EAN 13 format. Disabled is the default.

UPC-A / UPC-E Preambles

Three options are available for the lead-in characters of decoded
UPC-A or UPC-E symbols transmitted to the host device. Select one
preamble for UPC-A decodes and one for UPC-E decodes. The
preamble is considered a part of the symbol. The three options are:
•
system character only
•
country code and system character
•
no preamble
The system character is the the first character on the left side of the
symbol. The country code for UPC is always 0, and cannot be
transmitted without the system character. System character is the
default.
