Bookland EAN vs. EAN-13

Bookland EAN, which includes ISBN, ISSN, and ISMN, is supported by the KDC. This group
of symbologies is essentially an EAN-13 barcode with fixed prefixes; 977 for ISSN, 978 for
ISBN, and 979 for ISMN. If EAN-13 and Bookland EAN are both enabled, Bookland EAN
takes precedence. Bookland EAN does not have any options. The Bookland EAN barcode
does not contain any groupings – that is, there are no hyphens or separators. Thus, the ISBN
957-630-239-0 is transmitted as 9576302390.
