*1 The check digit is automatically calculated in accordance with input data. For
EAN-13, EAN-8, and UPC-A, and when using a check digit with ITF, the
check digit is appended at the end of the printed digits. When using a check
digit with CODE39 or CODABAR, the check digit is appended one digit before
the final digit.
*2 UPC-E includes a check digit, but it is not printed as a numeral below the bar
code.
*3 The number of digits printed below a bar code equals the input characters
plus automatically appended characters.
*4 An error message is displayed whenever there are insufficient digits. The
printer will not allow input of too many digits.
*5 An error message appears and printing is impossible if an odd number of
digits are input when an ITF check digit is not being used. Append a zero to
the beginning of the digits and re-input.
*6 An error message appears and printing is impossible if an even number of
digits are input when an ITF check digit is being used. Append a zero to the
beginning of the digits and re-input.
*7 Both the start code and end stop code of CODE39 must be asterisks.
*8 An error message appears and printing is impossible if any characters other
than those specified here are used.
*9 With CODABAR, A, B, C, or D can be used as the start code and stop code.
An error message appears and printing is impossible if any other character is
used.
