CHAPTER 1 PLURAL STAGE BAR CODE
DECODING
Introduction
This chapter provides general information about Plural Stage bar codes and modes.
Plural Stage Bar Code Decoding
A Plural Stage bar code is defined as multiple bar codes printed in close proximity to each other. They are
usually arranged vertically (i.e., one above the other), although this is not a requirement.
Table 1-1 lists the two supported Plural Stage decoding modes.
Table 1-1
RC Mode (Recognition
Code mode)
NRC Mode
(Non-Recognition
Code mode)
When transmitting, the scanner sends formatted row 1 data first, formatted row 2 data second, etc.
Table 2-1 on page 2-2 explains row data formatting .
Plural Stage Modes
ModeDescription
Requires Recognition Codes in order to decode Plural Stage ba r codes. Program

Recognition Codes on page 2-26
RC Mode, scanners can support 2-stage, 3-stage, and 4 -stage bar code reading,
where the number 2, 3, or 4 refers to the number of bar codes that make up the
Plural Stage bar code set.
Does not require Recognition Codes. In this mode, the parameter

Plural Stage ADF Bar Codes
A new Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) criteria and action allow formatting Plural Stage data.
When a scanner decodes any Plural Stage bar code (When Plural Stage Scan Data), it sends the data
according to the specification (Send Plural Stage Format), i.e., as follows:
<formatted 1st row><formatted 2nd row>
<formatted 3rd row><formatted 4th row>
where the Row Data Transmission Format on page 2-10 determines the row formatting.
This new criteria allows applying standard ADF on Plural Stage bar codes by reading them as a single bar
code.
Scan the When Plural Stage Scan Data and Send Plural Stage Format bar codes, followed by the Save
Rule bar code, to recreate the default rule. This allows se nding Plur al Stage format afte r enterin g several ADF
rules (some of which use the When Plural Stage Scan Data criteria) without erasing all rules to return to the
default rule.

Plural Stage Row Recognition Codes
Program up to two different Recognition Codes for each row within each type of Plural Stage bar code
(2-Stage, 3-Stage, or 4-Stage). A Recognition Code consists of 1 to 3 ASCII characters. For each character,
set a position value to indicate what position in the bar code the scanner looks for that character. The position
value is set relative to the left or right side of the bar code data.
Programming Recognition Code Characters
To program the Recognition Code character(s):
1.Scan the appropriate bar code from Recognition Codes on page 2-27.
2.Scan up to three alphanumeric bar codes from Appendix B, ALPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD CODES.
3.Scan Recognition Characters Done on page 2-37.
Programming Recognition Code Position Values
To program the position values for a Recognition Code:
1.Scan the appropriate bar code from Recognition Codes on page 2-27.
2.Scan a numeric bar code from page A-1 to indicate the position of the character in the Recognition Code
(e.g., first, second, third, etc.) for which a location value is being set.
3.Scan the From Left or From Right bar code from Position Value Placement on page 2-38 to indicate
whether the position value of the character is relative to the left side or the right side of the bar code data.
4.Scan two numeric bar codes from page A-1 that represent the position value itself. The first bar code
scanned represents the most significant digit. For example, to enter a position value of 10, scan 1, then 0.
All row 1 Recognition Codes (for any Plural Stage type) must be unique from all other Recognition Codes.
Row 2, 3, or 4 Recognition Codes must only be different from the Recognition Codes set for the other rows
within the same Plural Stage type (2-stage, 3-stage, or 4-stage). If an illegal entry is attempted, the scanner
sounds an error beep.

CHAPTER 3 SUPPLEMENTAL
RECOGNITION BAR CODES
Introduction
This chapter provides information about programming Supplemental Reco gnition Cha racters and enablin g the
Supplemental Recognition Code (SRC).
Supplemental Recognition Codes
An SRC consists of four Supplemental Recognition Characters. After enabling SRC and programming
Supplemental Recognition Characters, the SRC identifies auto detection and/or omission of supplementals in
plural stage bar code data. For examp le, if bar code da ta begins with "4910" and the SRC is set to "49 10," then
the supplementals are read with this bar code. If sup plementals are not found, the bar code won't b e read. The
scanner does not attempt to read supplementals for any other bar co de, whether the bar code has
supplementals or not. Supplemental Recognitions Codes only apply to EAN-13 bar codes.
Enabling Supplemental Recognition Codes
1.To configure Plural Stage bar code decoding, enabe RC Mode Decoding on page 2-5 or enable Plural
Stage Decoding in NRC Mode on page 2-7.
2.Scan Enable SRC on page 3-3.
3.Scan Decode UPC/EAN Only With Supplementals on page 3-3.
To program Supplemental Recognition Characters with values other than the default values, see Programming
Supplemental Recognition Characters on page 3-4.
To disable (default) this feature scan * Disable SRC on page 3-3.
3 - 2 PLURAL STAGE PROGRAMMER’S GUIDE
Default Parameter Settings
Table 3-1 lists the default parameter settings for supplemental recognition codes.
NOTE Scanning Set Defaults or Set Factory Defaults from a standard scanner product reference guide does
not restore SRC characters to the defaults shown in this table. To clear SRC characters, see Clearing
Recognition Codes on page 2-36.

3 - 4 PLURAL STAGE PROGRAMMER’S GUIDE
Programming Supplemental Recognition Characters
When setting Supplemental Recognition Characters, first program the first three characters, then program the
fourth. The fourth character specifies whether or not to read the bar code with supplementals.
For example, if you program a Supplemental Recognition Code as 4910, the scanner reads supplementals
only in bar codes that begin with 491 and include a 0 in the fourth position. Program up to 10 alphanumeric
characters for the fourth character to specify supplementals in a bar code. For example, if a family of bar codes
that begin with 4910, 4916, and 4918 have supplementals, the fourth character of each SRC should include a
0, 6, and 8 to read the bar codes with supplementals.
Recognition characters are compared to the left-most characters in the de coded UPC/EAN bar cod e. When all
characters match, Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals temporarily sets to decode with supplementals. When
all characters do not match, Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals sets to Ignore with Supplementals.
NOTE Supplemental Recognition Characters can be programmed when the feature is disabled. Enable this to
read with supplementals. See
Programming the First Three Supplemental Recognition Characters
Enabling Supplemental Recognition Codes on page 3-1.
To program three new Supplemental Recognition Characters:
1.Scan Set First Three Supplemental Characters.
2.Scan three alphanumeric bar codes from Appendix B, ALPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD CODES.
3.Scan SRC Done to store the characters.
Set First Three Supplemental Characters

Programming Fourth Supplemental Recognition Character
To program the fourth new Supplemental Recognition Character:
1.Scan Set Fourth Supplemental Character to set the fourth character for enabling supplementals.
2.Scan up to 10 alphanumeric bar codes from Appendix B, ALPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD CODES.
3.Scan SRC Done to store the characters.
The default fourth character is 0 to allow for Japanese New Magazine code.
