Enabling supplements allows you to read 2 and 5-digit supplemental codes used
with magazines and books. This disallows right-to-left reading of UPC/EAN
codes, to assure that the supplement doesn't get skipped.
Enabling transmission of UPC or EAN NSC's (leading digits, 1 for UPC;2 for
EAN-13) or Check Digits means that these digits will be transmitted to your
computer along with the rest of the UPC or EAN data.
UPC-E Compressed Format transmits UPC-E codes as is; Expanded Format adds
zeros to make them the same length as UPC-A.
UPC-E can be used in either normal UPC-E format (implicit NSC of 0) or UPC-
E1 format (NSC of 1). UPC-E1 is enabled by wanding 2 of 5 Code and 8 (9
disables UPC-E1). It is very easy to read an EAN-13 bar code partially as UPC-E1,
so don't enable UPC-E1 when reading EAN-13.
If you wish the UPC-A data to be transmitted in EAN-13 format, (with an
additional leading 0 for the USA's country code), you should scan Terminator
Character and F. Scanning E, the default, sets UPC back to no country code
transmitted.
ISBN bar codes are EAN-13 bar codes where the first three digits are the
"Bookland" country code of 978 for books and 977 for periodicals, and the
following nine are the first nine digits of the ISBN. To enable transmission of ISBN
