2.2.3.3 UPC/EAN

The UPC (UNIVERSAL PRODUCT CODE) is used for food and consumer goods in the USA and Can-

ada. It can be compared with the European EAN. The UPC is a numeric code with 12 digits

(UPC A) or with 6 digits (UPC E). The last digit is the check-digit.

Fig. 2-4: Example of UPC

The EAN (EUROPEAN ARTICEL NUMBERING) is used for labelling food and consumer goods in Eu-

rope. It can be compared with the American UPC. The first two numbers indicate the country

code, the following numbers the manufacturer and the article. The EAN code is a numeric

code with 13 or 8 digits. The last two digits are always used as check-digits.

Fig. 2-5: Example of EAN 13

The UPC A is compatible with EAN 13: If EAN 13 is printed with a 0 (zero) as the first digit,

this code has the same bar sequences as the UPC A code. This type of code is decoded as

a 12-digit UPC A code in the evaluation routing of the EAN 13 and UPC A. The scanner only

decodes this 12-digit codes as UPC A, if UPC A or UPC A and EAN 13 are activated. The code

is only interpreted as EAN 13 with a leading zero if EAN 13 is activated.

General Reading conditions for code types UPC and EAN are configured via the parameter of the

General group.

UPC Via the parameters of the UPC group you can set which UPC code types are to be scanned.

Parameter Function

Multireads Enter the minimum number of required successful readings that

must be achieved to accept a barcode as valid.

Add-on Select type of output of the Add-on code.

The Add-on code is a small additional code that can be added to

The 2/5 INTERLEAVED (also called ITF) is a very common code type for the coding of numeric

information. The main fields of application are in the industrial sector. The 2/5 INTERLEAVED

is a binary code which encodes digits from 0-9.

Classification restriction The classification restriction is displayed in %.

The classification restriction represents the scanning security.

The higher the value, the safer the scanning; but it also increases

the chance that a poorly printed code will not be scanned.

The difference between the smallest wide element and the larg-

est narrow element must be greater than the average module

width multiplied by the classification restriction.
