Setting advanced bar code options

You can enable advanced bar code options, such as setting check digits or changing the look of the bar code. A check digit determines if the data is read correctly. A formula is applied to the encoded numbers to yield one digit. That check digit is usually placed at the end of the bar code. The computer checks that the numbers were read correctly by comparing the calculated check digit with the read check digit.

Other advanced options change the appearance of the symbol. For example, the advanced options allow you to attach a numeric prefix to the bar code, and ignore spaces and brackets in the symbol.

To specify advanced options

1 .

Click the Advanced button in the Industry standard properties page.

2 .

You can add or remove check digits, brackets, spaces, and prefixes from the following bar codes only: Codabar, Code 39, Code 128, ISBN, ISSN, ITF-14, MSI Plessey, and UPC(A).
