UPC-E1 Preamble
Preamble characters are part of the UPC symbol, and include Country Code and System Character. There are
three options for transmitting a UPC-E1 preamble to the host device: transmit System Character only, transmit
System Character and Country Code ("0" for USA), and transmit no preamble. Select the appropriate option to
match the host system.
No Preamble (<DATA>)
System Character & Country Code
(< COUNTRY CODE> <SYSTEM CHARACTER> <DATA>)
Convert UPC-E to UPC-A
Enable this to convert UPC-E (zero suppressed) decoded data to UPC-A format before transmission. After
conversion, the data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble,
Check Digit).
When disabled, UPC-E decoded data is transmitted as UPC-E data, without conversion.
