I am trying to print an EAN barcode vertically on a label with below ZPL code:
^FO895,273^BY3^BUB,200,Y,N
^FO895,261^FD9827755779090^FS
I'm expecting the output as 9827755779090. However, it prints out as 277557790900.
It cuts off the first 2 digit(98) and adds (0) on the final digit. Can I know how do I fix my code?
^BE is the EAN command. It will calculate the check digit for you.
^BE; EAN-13 Bar Code. Description: The ^BE command is similar to the UPC-A bar code. It is widely used throughout Europe and Japan in the retail marketplace. The EAN-13 bar code has 12 data characters, one more data character than the UPC-A code. An EAN-13 symbol contains the same number of bars as the UPC-A, but encodes a 13th digit into a parity pattern of the left-hand six digits. This 13th digit, in combination with the 12th digit, represents a country code. • ^BE supports fixed print ratios. • Field data (^FD) is limited to exactly 12 characters. ZPL II automatically truncates or pads on the left with zeros to achieve the required number of characters.
Here is the fixed code (with changed ^FO).
^XA
^FO95,273^BY3^BEB,200,Y,N
^FD9827755779090^FS
^XZ
