Specifying the barcode data Specify the barcode data by referring to the following descriptions. About the composite symbol: The composite component type is selected automatically depending on the digit number of the data. (CC-C is selected only when GS1-128 is set.) About the HRI character: When the total width of the HRI character is larger than that of the barcode, the HRI character width is set as the barcode width. UPC-A Normal Specify the data of 11 to 12 digits. The first digit is an unchecked number system character. For data of 11 digits, a check digit is automatically added. For data of 12 digits, the 12th digit is regarded as a check digit, but not proved.
Composite (difference from Normal) For data of 12 digits, the 12th digit is ignored, and a check digit is automatically added. UPC-E Normal Specify the data of 11 to 12 digits. For data of 6 digits, the specified data is not changed, and a check digit is automatically added. For data of 7 digits, the 2nd to 7th digits become the data characters, and a check digit is automatically added. For data of 8 digits, the 2nd to 7th digits become the data characters, and the 8th digit is regarded as a check digit, but not proved. For data of 11 digits, a check digit is automatically added. For data of 12 digits, the 12th digit is regarded as a check digit, but not proved.
For data of 7 digits or more, specify “0” for the first digit, since it is regarded as a number system character. 164 Composite Component Type Encodable Digit Number CC-A 1 ~ 56 digits CC-B 1 ~ 338 digits CC-C 1 ~ 2361 digits
