Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental
This option is used to select whether UPC/EAN is decoded with or without
supplemental characters, or whether the unit will autodiscriminate between the two.
Supplementals are additionally appended characters, according to specific code format
conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 8+5). If UPC/EAN with supplemental
characters 2-digit or 5-digit only is selected, UPC/EAN symbols without supplemental
characters won’t be decoded. If UPC/EAN without supplemental characters is
selected and the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the
UPC/EAN will be decoded and the supplemental characters will be ignored. If
autodiscrimination is chosen, the scanner will, after additional processing to ensure a
good decode, transmit either. If UPC/EAN with supplemental characters is selected,
UPC/EAN without supplemental characters is ignored.
