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 linear imager scanner is presented
with a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the linear imager scanner decodes UPC/EAN and ignores
the supplemental characters.
• If you select Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals, the linear imager scanner only decodes UPC/EAN
symbols with supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.
• If you select Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, the linear imager scanner decodes
UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters immediately. If the symbol does not have a
supplemental, the linear imager scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via
UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 11-12 before transmitting its data to confirm that
there is no supplemental.
• If you select one of the following Supplemental Mode options, the linear imager scanner immediately
transmits EAN-13 bar codes starting with that prefix that have supplemental characters. If the symbol
does not have a supplemental, the linear imager scanner must decode the bar code the number of times
set via UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 11-12 before transmitting its data to confirm
that there is no supplemental. The linear imager scanner transmits UPC/EAN bar codes that do not have
that prefix immediately.

• Supplemental User-Programmable Type 1 and 2 - applies to EAN-13 bar codes starting with either
of two 3-digit user-defined prefixes. Set the 3-digit prefixes using User-Programmable Supplementals
on page 11-12.
• Smart Supplemental Plus User-Programmable 1 - applies to EAN-13 bar codes starting with any
prefix listed previously or the user-defined prefix set using User-Programmable Supplementals on
page 11-12.
• Smart Supplemental Plus User-Programmable 1 and 2 - applies to EAN-13 bar codes starting with
any prefix listed previously or one of the two user-defined prefixes set using User-Programmable
Supplementals on page 11-12.
NOTE If you select 978/979 Supplemental Mode and are scanning Bookland EAN bar codes, see
Enable/Disable Bookland EAN on page 11-8 to enable Bookland EAN, and select a format using Bookland
ISBN Format on page 11-20.
