Bookland EAN vs. EAN-13
Bookland EAN, which includes ISBN, ISSN, and ISMN, is supported by the KDC. This
group of symbologies is essentially an EAN-13 barcode with fixed prefixes; 977 for ISSN,
978 for ISBN, and 979 for ISMN. If EAN-13 and Bookland EAN are both enabled,
Bookland EAN takes precedence. Bookland EAN does not have any options. The
Bookland EAN barcode does not contain any groupings – that is, there are no hyphens
or separators. Thus, the ISBN 957-630-239-0 is transmitted as 9576302390.
Add-on Symbologies
By default, the 2 or 5 digit add-on symbols with a UPCE, UPCA, EAN-8, and EAN-13
barcode are neither decoded nor transmitted. Transmission for these specific
symbologies is enabled by setting the appropriate withAddon options. There are 4
withAddon options, one for each symbology:
 UPCEwithAddon
 UPCAwithAddon
 EAN8withAddon
 EAN13withAddon
The decoding of add-on symbols are defined by the following table, which explains the
process for EAN-13 symbols.
