ISBN Specifications
ISBN (International Standard Book Numbering) bar codes are essentially EAN-13 with a 5 digit supplement, where the first 3 digits
are the Bookland country codes of 978 for books and 977 for periodicals. Although the bar code contains 18 characters, the ISBN
format uses only 9 of them, along with a newly calculated Mod-11 check digit. For example, a bar code containing the numbers
978055337062153495 would transmit as 0553370626 in the ISBN format.
The RF Terminal has the option of transmitting in the ISBN format.
