Remarks

This property kicks in only when all the following conditions are met: (1) the current symbology is set to UCC_EAN_128. (2) the data element contains an AI of 00 (SSCC-18) or 01(SCC-14). (3) the data length is 1ess than the required. The check digit is calculated based on Mod 10 algorithm and appended to the end of the data part. The check digit also appears in the human readable text.

For example, when the property UCC_EAN_128 is set to TRUE, the data (01)3001234567890 becomes (01)30012345678906 where the last digit of 6 is the calculated mod10 check digit.
