Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals
Parameter # 10h
Supplementals are additionally appended characters (2 or 5) according to specific code
format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 8+2). Three options are available.
• If UPC/EAN with supplemental characters is selected, the scanner does not
decode UPC/EAN symbols without supplemental characters.
• If UPC/EAN without supplemental characters is selected, and the
MS-320x is presented with a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the scanner
decodes the UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters.
• If autodiscriminate is selected, scan Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental
Redundancy on page 7-38, then select a value from the numeric bar codes
beginning on page 7-143. A value of 5 or more is recommended.
• If Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode is selected, the scanner identifies
supplementals for EAN-13 bar codes starting with a ‘378’ or ‘379’ prefix only. All
other UPC/EAN bar codes are decoded immediately and the supplemental
characters ignored.
• If Enable 978 Supplemental Mode is selected, the scanner identifies
supplementals for EAN-13 bar codes starting with a ‘978’ prefix only. All other UPC/
EAN bar codes are decoded immediately and the supplemental characters
ignored.
• If Enable Smart Supplemental Mode is selected, the scanner identifies
supplementals for EAN-13 bar codes starting with a ‘378’, ‘379’, or ‘978’ prefix only.
All other UPC/EAN bar codes are decoded immediately and the supplemental
characters ignored.
Note: To minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, we recommend
selecting either read or ignore supplemental characters.
Select the desired option by scanning one of the following bar codes.
