Digit Add Right to Left
Each character in the scanned data is assigned a numeric value (see OCR Check Digit Multiplier on page 329).
The check digit multiplier is reversed in order. Each value representing a character in the scanned data is
multiplied by its corresponding digit in the reversed multiplier, resulting in a product for each character in the
scanned data. The sum of each individual digit in all of the products is then calculated. The check digit passes if
this sum modulo Check Digit Modulus is zero.
Example:
Scanned data numeric value is 132456 (check digit is 6)
Check digit multiplier string is 123456
Digit 1 3 2 4 5 6
Multiplier 6 5 4 3 2 1
Product 6 15 8 12 10 6
Digit add 6+ 1+5+ 8+ 1+2+ 1+0+ 6= 30
The Check Digit Modulus is 10. It passes because 30 is divisible by 10 (the remainder is 0).
Product Add Right to Left Simple Remainder
Each character in the scanned data is assigned a numeric value (see OCR Check Digit Multiplier on page 329).
The check digit multiplier is reversed in order. Each value representing a character in the scanned data is
multiplied by its corresponding digit in the reversed multiplier, resulting in a product for each character in the
scanned data. The sum of these products
except for the check digit's product is computed. The check digit passes
if this sum modulo Check Digit Modulus is equal to the check digit's product.
Example:
Scanned data numeric value is 122456 (check digit is 6)
Check digit multiplier string is 123456
Digit 1 2 2 4 5 6
Multiplier 6 5 4 3 2 1
Product 6 10 8 12 10 6
Product add 6+ 10+ 8+ 12+ 10= 46 6
