Mod Description
printed HRI when modifier X'04' is specified; these parentheses
are not part of the input data.
X'00' Print the EAN 2-digit supplemental bar code add-on (bar/space
pattern and HRI).This option assumes that the base EAN-13
symbol is presented as a separate bar code object. The
value of the two digit supplemental data determines their
bar and space patterns chosen from number sets A and B.
X'01' The two-digit supplemental bar code symbol is preceded by a
normal EAN-13 bar code symbol. The bar code object contains
both the EAN-13 symbol and the two-digit supplemental
symbol. The two-digit supplemental bar code is presented after
the EAN-13 symbol using left hand odd and even parity as
determined by the two supplemental digits chosen from number
sets A and B.
X'00' Print the EAN 5-digit supplemental bar code (bar/space pattern
and HRI). This option assumes that the base EAN-13 symbol is
presented as a separate bar code object. A check digit is calcu-
lated from the five supplemental digits. The check digit is also
used to assign the bar and space patterns from number sets A
and B for the five supplemental digits. The check digit is not
encoded or interpreted.
X'01' The five-digit supplemental bar code symbol is preceded
by a normal EAN-13 bar code symbol. The bar code
object contains both the EAN-13 symbol and the five-digit
supplemental symbol. A check digit is generated from
the five-digit supplemental data. The check digit is used
to assign the bar and space patterns from number sets A
and B. The check digit is not encoded or interpreted.
