Universal Product Code (UPC) or
European Article Number (EAN)
I UPC or EAN code
The following codes can be supported:
• UPC-A (Number system character: 0, 2, 3, 4)
• EAN-8
• EAN-13
For the codes used in-store marking, there are two kinds of PLU type (treated as a code like PLU no.) and
Non-PLU type (price/quantity information is included in the code).
When a code is non-PLU type, the price/quantity in the code is read for sales entries (in case of quantity,
"quantity multiplies preset unit price" is processed to obtain price.)
UPC-A
• Number system character: 0 <used in the source marking>
• Number system character: 3 <used as NDC or HRI>
For entry, a full 12-digit number or 11-digit number (omitting
the check digits) must be entered.
• Number system character: 2 <In-store marking Non-PLU type>
Program the format on the back office system (POS server).
• Number system character: 4 <In-store marking PLU type>
For entry, a full 12-digit number, 11-digit number (omitting the
check digit), or a leading zero plus 12-digit number must be entered. (Any numbers are allowed for the
digits marked with *, and on the receipt/journal, non-PLU type code is printed like 2020008
(

UPC-E
• UPC-E is a zero-suppressed version of UPC-A that conforms
to the UPC-E Standards. This code is used for marking small
packages.
