UPC/EAN/JAN: Convert EAN-13 To ISBN: OFF

<>



Use this option to control how EAN-13 bar codes that begin with 978 are handled. With this option enabled, an EAN-13 bar
code beginning with 978 will have the 978 and the EAN-13 check digit removed. The ISBN check digit is calculated using the
remaining numbers, then the ISBN number along with check digit is then transmitted to the computer. If the EAN-13 bar code
contains a supplement and the ISBN supplement decoder is enabled, the supplement and supplement separator string will be
transmitted immediately following the ISBN check digit.

Use these options to configure the Type IDs for the UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13/JAN-13, and EAN-8/JAN-8 bar codes. Sometime it
may be necessary to transmit a Type ID for the type of the bar code that was just read, this will allow a system to determine
what to do with the data for the bar code. For example, CODE 39 bar codes could be used for employee identification purposes
and UPC bar codes could be used for product codes. The Type ID for CODE 39 and UPC bar codes would be different allowing
the system to automatically use the information in the appropriate modules. Type ID's can be transmitted as a prefix or a suffix
to the bar code data, for more information see OTHER: Send Bar Code Type ID on page 18.

UPC/EAN/JAN: Laser/CCD Redundancy: OFF

<>



Use this option to control the Laser/CCD redundancy for UPC/EAN/JAN bar codes. With this option enabled, a UPC bar code
must be read twice in a row when using a Laser or CCD device, to be considered a good read. This option provides additional
security when scanning poorly printed or damaged bar codes.





Note: Using this option does not require you to physically read the same bar code twice to get a good read. The scanner
continuously sweeps across the bar code the number of times necessary when this mode is enabled, therefore requiring no
additional operator intervention.

transmitted to the computer.
