GS1 (EAN • UCC) Composite Codes
Linear codes are combined with a unique 2D composite component
to form a new class called EAN•UCC Composite symbology.
EAN•UCC Composite symbologies allow for the co-existence of
symbologies already in use.
UPC/EAN Version
Scan the UPC/EAN Version On barcode to decode EAN•UCC
Composite symbols that have a UPC or EAN linear component.
(This does not affect EAN•UCC Composite symbols with a
UCC/EAN-128 or GS1 DataBar linear component.)
Message Length
Scan the barcodes below to change the message length. Minimum
and Maximum lengths = 1-2435. Minimum Default = 1, Maximum
Default = 2435
Emulation
The scanner can automatically format the output from any
EAN•UCC data carrier to emulate what would be encoded in an
equivalent UCC/EAN-128 or GS1 DataBar and Composite symbol.
EAN•UCC data carriers include UPC-A and UPC-E, EAN-13
and EAN-8, ITF-14, UCC/EAN-128, and EAN•UCC GS1 DataBar
and Composites. Data from 2D symbols such as Aztec Code, Data
Matrix, or QR Code, which encode a leading FNC1, also invoke
EAN•UCC emulation. If UCC/EAN-128 Emulation is selected, the
AIM Symbology Identifier is reported as "]C1". If GS1 DataBar
Emulation is selected, the AIM Symbology Identifier is reported as
"]e0." Any application that accepts EAN•UCC data can be
simplified since it only needs to recognize one data carrier type.
