How To Create Bar Codes
Linx 7900
Figure 26 shows an EAN-13 bar code with the following options set to Yes:
• Display Integrated Text
• Display All Source Fields
• Display As Text
• Display Checksum
Figure 26. EAN-13 bar code example
Figure 26 shows an EAN-13 bar code symbol (A) that contains the data from three text
fields (“1234”, “5678” and “9012”). The bar code encodes the fields as a single 12-digit
number “123456789012”.
• Because the Display Integrated Text option is set to Yes, the printer displays the
12-digit number (B) in the bar code symbol. The additional digit (“8”) in this number is
the checksum character.
• Because the Display All Source Fields option is set to Yes, the printer displays the
source fields (D, E, F) next to the symbol. The lines with dashes in the figure indicate
that the fields are separate. You can select and edit each one separately.
• Because the Display As Text option is set to Yes, the printer also shows the 12-digit
number (C) under the bar code symbol. This field is a single field that contains all three
text fields. You can move this field if necessary.
• Because the Display Checksum option is set to Yes by default, the number (C) includes
the checksum character “8”.
