There are three options for transmitting a UPCE0 preamble:
• Preamble Sys Char - Transmit System Character only.
• Preamble Country and Sys Char - Transmit System Character and Country Code (“0” for USA).
• Preamble None - Transmit no preamble (default).
• Convert UPCE0 To UPCA - Enable to convert UPCE0 (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. Disable to transmit UPCE0 decoded data as UPCE0 data, without conversion
(default - disabled).

• Report Check Digit - The check digit is the last character of the symbol used to verify the integrity of the

Decode Lengths
• The allowable decode lengths are specified by options Length1 and Length2 as follows:
• Variable length: Decode symbols containing any number of characters.
• Set both Length1 and Length2 to 0.
• Range: Decode a symbol with a specific length range (from a to b, including a and b).
• Set Length1 to a and set Length2 to b.
• Two Discrete Lengths: Decode only symbols containing either of two selected lengths.
• Set both Length1 or Length2 to the specific lengths. Length1 must be greater than Length2.
• One Discrete Length: Decode only symbols containing a specific length.
• Set both Length1 and Length2 to the specific length.
UPC EAN Params
Allows the configuration of the parameters that apply to more than one UPC or EAN decoder.
