You can choose whether you want to input the check digit value, or let the program calculate it
for you:
Auto-generate check digit: Check digit is calculated by the software. You enter the bar code
data only. For example: when using EAN-13 bar code, you enter the first 12 digits; check digit
in the 13th place will be calculated and added automatically.
Verify the provided check digit: Use this command when you want to enter the value for the
check-digit. At print time, the entered check digit will be verified for validity.
Enable custom check digit algorithm: You can set a custom algorithm for calculating the
check digit. Click on the button
Select to choose the algorithm.
Human Readable Tab
On this tab, you can set the options regarding position and format of the bar code
interpretation.
No interpretation: Bar code object does not have any human interpretation.
Below bar code: All data encoded in the bar code is placed beneath the bar code symbol as
human readable characters.
Above bar code: All data encoded in the bar code is placed above the bar code symbol as
human readable characters.
Font: Using the Font button, you can choose the font for auto-translation text. The option Auto
font scaling
will adjust the font of the auto translation text to the size of the bar code.
Note • You can format the font for human interpretation only if the bar code is printed as a
graphic. When printing the bar code as an internal printer object, the printer will print the
interpretation using resident built-in fonts.
