Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals

Parameter # 16
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 imager is presented with a UPC/EAN
plus supplemental symbol, the imager decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters.
•
If you select Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals, the imager only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with
supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.
•
If you select Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, the imager decodes UPC/EAN symbols with
supplemental characters immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the imager must
