 PROGRAMMING
What is a 1D barcode?

Linear, 1 dimensional barcodes are a row of parallel lines of varying thickness. The information is stored in
the widths of the bars and spaces. 1D barcodes are used in retail products.

What is a 2D barcode?

2D barcodes are a pattern of black and white blocks arranged in a square or rectangles. Two dimensional
barcodes can hold significant amount of information and are more typically used than 1D barcodes. 2D
barcodes are used for manufacturing, warehousing, etc.

For command barcodes not available in the guide, contact support@socketmobile.com.

After scanning a command barcode, power off and on the scanner to make sure it’s configured.

To enhance the speed of reading, disable all symbologies and enable the desired symbology only.

Disable All Symbologies

*No beep when scanning this command barcode

Note: Most computer monitors allow scanning the barcodes directly on the screen. When scanning
from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the barcode
clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.

17
 1D SYMBOLOGIES
Bookland ISBN Format
If Bookland EAN is enabled, select one of the following formats for Bookland data:
• Bookland ISBN-10 - The digital scanner reports Bookland data starting with 978 in traditional 10-digit
format with the special Bookland check digit for backward-compatibility. Data starting with 979 is not
considered Bookland in this mode.
• Bookland ISBN-13 - The digital scanner reports Bookland data (starting with either 978 or 979) as EAN-
13 in 13-digit format to meet the 2007 ISBN-13 protocol.

Note: For Bookland EAN to function properly, ensure Bookland EAN is enabled (see Enable/Disable Book-
land EAN), then select either Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals, Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals,
or Enable 978/979 Supplemental Mode in Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals.

18
 1D SYMBOLOGIES
Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals
Supplementals are appended characters (2 or 5) according to specific code format conventions (e.g., UPC
A+2, UPC E+2). Several options are available:

• If Decode UPC/EAN with Supplemental characters is selected, the scan engine does not decode UPC/
EAN symbols without supplemental characters.
• If Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplemental characters is selected, and the SM1 is presented with a UPC/
EAN symbol with a supplemental, the scan engine decodes the UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental
characters.
• Select Enable 978/979 Supplemental Mode to enable the SM1 to identify supplementals for EAN-13 bar
codes starting with a ‘978’ or ‘979’ prefix only. All other UPC/EAN bar codes are decoded immediately
and the supplemental characters ignored.

Note: To minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, we recommend selecting

whether to read or ignore supplemental characters.

Select the desired option by scanning one of the following barcodes.

Ignore UPC/EAN With Supplementals (default)

Decode UPC/EAN With Supplementals

Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN With Supplementals
