Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals
Note: In order to minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, for best results select whether to read or ignore
supplemental characters.
Supplementals are additionally appended characters (2 or 5) according to specific code format conventions (e.g.,
UPC-A + 2).
Select an option by scanning one of the bar codes shown below.
Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals
UPC/EAN symbols without supplemental
characters are not decoded.
* Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplementals
When a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol is
scanned, the UPC/EAN is decoded and the
supplemental characters ignored.

When this option is selected you must assign a
value to the “Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental

recommended.

ignored.

If you select 978/979 Supplemental Mode and
are scanning Bookland EAN bar codes, see
