OCR Check Digit Multiplier
SSI # F1h BCh
Parameter # 700
This option sets OCR check digit multipliers for the character positions. For check digit validation, each
character in scanned data has an equivalent weight used in the check digit calculation. PL3307 OCR ships
with the following weight equivalents:
0 = 0
A = 10
K = 20
U = 30
1 = 1
B = 11
L = 21
V = 31
2 = 2
C = 12
M = 22
W = 32
3 = 3
D = 13
N = 23
X = 33
4 = 4
E = 14
O = 24
Y = 34
5 = 5
F = 15
P = 25
Z = 35
6 = 6
G = 16
Q = 26
Space = 0
7 = 7
H = 17
R = 27
8 = 8
I = 18
S = 28
9 = 9
J = 19
T = 29
All other characters are equivalent to one (1).
You can define the multiplier string if it is different from the default.
121212121212 (default)
123456789A (for ISBN, Product Add Right to Left. See OCR Check Digit Validation on page 3-25)
For example:
ISBN uses modulo 11 for its check digit. In this case, 132 is divisible by 11, so it passes the check digit.
To set the check digit multiplier, scan the following bar code, then scan numbers and letters to form the
multiplier string from the alphanumeric keyboard in the Advanced Data Formatting Guide. Then scan End of
Message in the Advanced Data Formatting Guide.
