2 digit, mod10 and mode11

2 digit, mod10 and mod10

2. IATA check digit

One of the three following IATA check digit calculation methods can be selected.

Calculate number other than end 1 digit

Calculate coupon number and numeric value segment

Calculate numeric value segment

3. Minimum digit on Code39 symbology

The no. of minimum digits can be set to one digit only when scanning on Code39 symbology is

enabled.

4. Minimum digit on NW-7 symbology

The no. of minimum digits can be set to one digit only when scanning on NW-7 symbology is

enabled.

5. Minimum digit on Interleaved 2of5

The no. of minimum digits can be set to two digits only when scanning on Interleaved 2of5

symbology is enabled.

6. Minimum and maximum digits on IATA symbology

The no. of minimum digits can be set to 15 digits or 17 digits for the maximum only when the

IATA check digit calculation is set to “Coupon number and Calculate data segment” or

“Calculate just data segment”.

7. Maximum digit on RSS Expanded

and RSS Expanded Stacked symbologies

The maximum digit count for just numeric data is 74 digits. The maximum digit count for just

alphabet data is 41 digits.

8. The maximum digits for each symbology in Table 2.22 are based on the optimum conditions of

each element such as the bar code print quality, resolution, PCS, brightness surrounded, and

distance between the terminal and the bar code. Depending on these conditions, even if one of

the maximum digits in the table is set to a bar code symbology, an individual bar code of that

symbology may not be scanned.

9. If IATA symbology valid minimum digit is set to one digit, the chance of misreading will

increase. If there is no need to scan a bar code of the symbology with its minimum digit one, do

not change the default setting. The default is set to 4.

Check Digit Calculation

A bar code value is calculated in accordance with method, and then the calculation result and the

check character at a specific position are compared. If they match, the scanning data is deemed

correct. The calculation method differs according to each symbology.

Readable Digits

The actual readable digit on a bard code differs depending on the resolution and the scanning

distance between the terminal and the bar code.
