EAN-13 (Type 13)

Character Set 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Data Limits Twelve digits. An EAN-13 symbol is very similar to UPC Version A, but has a thirteenth digit (a number system digit) which is encoded into a parity pattern of the left six digits. The number system digit is used with the twelth digit to define characters representing a specific country code.

If twelve digits are sent, the number system digit will automatically be zero (0). If thirteen digits are sent, the first digit will be used as the number system digit. If more than thirteen or less than twelve digits, or any invalid characters are sent, the number system digit and the invalid characters are encoded as a solid black character.
