values are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down.
To change the parameter values:
a Scan the appropriate bar codes included in this chapter.
XThe new values replace the existing memory values.
b The factory default values can be recalled by scanning the RESTORE DEFAULTS bar code on page 7.
Parameter defaults

for backward-compatibility. Data starting with 979 is not considered Bookland in this mode.
• Bookland ISBN-13 - The digital scanner reports Bookland data (starting with either 978 or 979) as EAN-13 in 13-digit format to meet the 2007
ISBN-13 protocol.

Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals
Parameter # 10h
Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 13+2).
The following options are available:
• If you select Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplementals, and the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the scanner decodes
UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters.
• If you select Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals, the scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters, and ignores
symbols without supplementals.
• If you select Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters immediately. If
the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental
Redundancy before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.
• If you select one of the following Supplemental Mode options, the scanner immediately transmits EAN-13 bar codes starting with that prefix that
have supplemental characters. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via
Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental. The scanner transmits UPC/
EAN bar codes that do not have that prefix immediately.
• Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode.
• Enable 978/979 Supplemental Mode.
» NOTE: If you select 978/979 Supplemental Mode and are scanning Bookland EAN bar codes, see Enable/Disable Bookland EAN to enable
Bookland EAN, and select a format using Bookland ISBN Format.
• Enable 977 Supplemental Mode.
• Enable 414/419/434/439 Supplemental Mode.
• Enable 491 Supplemental Mode.
• Enable Smart Supplemental Mode - applies to EAN-13 bar codes starting with any prefix listed previously.
» NOTE: To minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, select either to decode or ignore supplemental characters.

Enable this parameter to convert UPC-E1 (zero suppressed) decoded data to UPC-A format before transmission. After
conversion, data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check Digit).
Scan DO NOT CONVERT UPC-E TO UPC-A to transmit UPC-E1 (zero suppressed) decoded data.

EAN Zero Extend
Parameter # 27h
When enabled, this parameter adds five leading zeros to decoded EAN-8 symbols to make them compatible in format to EAN-13 symbols.
Disable this parameter to transmit EAN-8 symbols as is.

UPC/EAN Security Level
Parameter # 4Dh
The scanner oers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Increasing levels of security are provided for decreasing levels of bar code
quality. Select higher levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. Increasing security decreases the scan engine’s aggressiveness, so choose
only that level of security necessary for the application.
UPC/EAN Security Level 0
This default setting allows the scan engine to operate in its most aggressive state, while providing sucient security in decoding most “in-spec” UPC/
EAN bar codes.

security decreases the scan engine’s aggressiveness, so choose only that level of security necessary for the application.

UPC/EAN Security Level 1
As bar code quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to mis-decodes before others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If
mis-decodes of poorly printed bar codes occur, and the mis-decodes are limited to these characters, select this security
level.

If misdecodes still occur after selecting Security Level 2, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an
extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selection of this level of security significantly
impairs the decoding ability of the scan engine. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve the quality of the bar
codes.
