UPC Supplementals will not be decoded.
Enabled
When enabled, the imager will try to decode a main and a supplemental. However, if a
supplemental is not decoded, the main will be sent by itself at the end of the read cycle.
Required
When set to Required, both the main and the supplemental symbols must be read or a
single No Read condition results.
For example, if Supplementals is set to Required, Separator is enabled, and an asterisk
is defined as the UPC separator character. Then the data is displayed as:
MAIN * SUPPLEMENTAL.
Note: Under no circumstances will the supplemental symbol data be sent without a main
symbol.
Note: If additional symbols—other than the main or supplemental—will be read in the
same read cycle, Number of Symbols should be set accordingly.
Separator Status (UPC/EAN)
Usage:
Allows users to distinguish between the main and Supplemental symbols.
Definition:
A character can be inserted between the standard UPC or EAN symbology
and the supplemental symbology when Supplementals is set to Enabled
or Required.
