*1 The check digit is automatically calculated in accordance
with input data. For EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, and ITF,
the check digit is appended at the end of the printed
digits. For CODE39 and CODABAR, the check digit is
appended one digit before the final digit (when a check
digit is used).
*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 char-
acters.
*4 An error message is displayed whenever there are in-
sufficient digits. The unit will not allow input of too many
digits.
