EAN 13+2). The following options are available:

UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the digital scanner decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the
supplemental characters.

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