This parameter converts UPC E (zero suppressed) decoded data to UPC A format before
transmission. After conversion, data follows UPC A format and is affected by UPC A pro-
gramming selections (e.g. Check Digit).

5.28.2.9 UPC/EAN Shared
The setting assigned to the “Addendum” parameter associated with this option is shared
across all UPC and EAN bar codes.
Addendum
An addendum is a separate bar code, supplementary to the main bar code.
This parameter provides two options: Not Required but Transmitted if Read or Required and
Transmitted.
Double-tap on Addendum to display a dialog box listing your options.
Highlight an item, and tap on OK.
When “Addendum” is set to Not Required but Transmitted if Read, the scanner searches for
an addendum and if one exists, appends it to the main bar code. When the parameter is set to
Required and Transmitted, the scanner does not accept the main bar code without an
addendum.
Addendum Add-on 2 And Addendum Add-on 5
Enabling these parameters sets the length of the addendum bar code to either 2 or
5 characters.
GTIN Compliant
GTIN (global trade item number) processing transmits EAN 128 as the 14-character
EAN/UCC GTIN. To use GTIN processing, you must activate the EAN 128 symbology.
Important: When EAN 128 and GTIN processing are both activated, it is not possible to
read normal EAN 128 Codes.
