12.42. ShowCheckDigit Property

Description

ShowCheckDigit - Determines whether the checksum characters will be shown on the human readable portion. This option is effective to symbologies which support checksum characters.

Syntax

object.ShowCheckDigit[= Boolean] 

Remarks

By default any optional check digits are not included in the human readable text portion of the symbol. However some applications may want to display check digit(s). The checksum characters always are included in the human readable for UPC symbologies (UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8 and Bookland). The modulo 10 checksum created when UccEanOptionalCheckDigit is TRUE, is always included in the human readable. Due to the intrinsic ambiguity (multiple character sets used), the checksum display rule does not apply to Code 128, Telepen and Telepen Numeric. The ShowHRText property must be true in order to display the human readable text.

HIBC standard requires the checksum character displayed in the human readable. To conform to HIBC standard, you should set this property to TRUE when creating HIBC barcodes.
