following formats:
]E0 (UPC chars) (terminator) ]E2 (supplemental) (terminator) or
]E2 (supplemental) (terminator) ]E0 (UPC chars) (terminator)
In the scanner, however, the format is changed to:
]E0 (UPC chars) ]E2 (supplemental)
Therefore, a UPC with two supplemental characters, 01234567890510, is transmitted to
the host as a 21-character string, ]E00012345678905]E110.
