ReadUPCE – enable UPC-E barcode reading

Overview

 

When set to TRUE the toolkit will search for UPC-E type barcodes.

A UPC-E barcode is actually an EAN-13/UPC-A barcode that has had certain digits removed to create an 8 digit number. Only certain EAN-13/UPC-A barcodes can go through this process.

For example, the UPC-A barcode “023456000073” can be suppressed to the UPC-E value “02345673” and restored to its original value by the barcode reader. The Softek barcode Reader SDK can interpret a UPC-E barcode in either format via the ConvertUPCEToEAN13 property.
