bar code field, do not select V)erify check digit. The check

the option to increment or decrement UPC or EAN bar codes.
Check Digit Scheme
Format Entry Prompt:
CD Scheme Number [1-12]: 1_
Values: 1-12
This prompt lets you select a scheme for calculating a check
digit. A check digit scheme is required when you want a check
digit for Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, and NW7 bar code fields;
or for text fields containing numeric data. You must also select
a check digit scheme if you want a
verify check digit for Code
128, and MSI bar codes.
Before making a selection, be sure the check digit calculation
scheme you want has been defined in Printer Options. Refer
to the
Operator’s Handbook for procedures for entering check
digit schemes.
When you select a check digit scheme, you must mark the
positions to be used in the calculation.
Mark positions to be used:
XXXXXXXXXX_
Type an X for each position to be used, leaving a space in the
location where you want the check digit. Press
E
. In the
example above, we use the first 10 positions, and leave
position 11 for the check digit.
