The UPC-E to UPC-A setting is often used when the scanner scans such barcodes. You can ask the manufacturer of the scanner, and they will provide the corresponding setting code. Such barcodes can be scanned with a laser scanning gun and an omnidirectional laser desktop barcode scanner.

Here we mainly recommend the use of omnidirectional laser scanning platform, because its large window covers a wide range, wide scanning angle, and a total of 20 laser lines can scan barcodes with full coverage, high sensitivity, fast scanning speed, and placed on You can also free your hands on the desktop to improve efficiency.
