EAN-13, EAN-8 | Datamax E4203 instruction

Appendix G

F:EAN-13

Valid Characters: 0 – 9

Length: Thirteen digits. If the user provides 12 digits, the printer will compute the checksum; or, if the user provides the checksum, the printer verifies it against an expected checksum. When these checksums do not match, all zeros will be printed along with the expected checksum. See Appendix Q.

Valid bar dimensions: The fourth character of record is the width of the narrow bar in dots. All other bars are a ratio of the narrow bar (2 times, 3 times, and 4 times the narrow bar width).

The following example prints an EAN-13 bar code:

<STX>L

G:EAN-8

Valid Characters: 0 – 9

Length: Eight digits. If the user provides 7 digits, the printer will compute the checksum; or, if the user provides the checksum, the printer verifies it against an expected checksum. When these checksums do not match, all zeros will be printed along with the expected checksum.

Valid bar dimensions: The fourth character of record is the width of the narrow bar in dots. All other bars are a ratio of the narrow bar (2 times, 3 times, and 4 times the narrow bar width).
