^XZEducational example; not a certified label or a physical print test. Sample text and codes stay the same in every language for comparison.
Expected result with ^BE
^FD contains the 12 digits 590123412345. The printer adds check digit 7, giving expected value 5901234123457. Module width is 3 dots and bars are 100 dots high; preserve white space on both sides.
What should I check if ^BE does not give the expected result?
Do not paste a complete 13-digit GTIN without adapting the data passed to ^BE. Validate the 12 input digits: automatic padding or truncation can produce a different number. This example does not allocate a commercial GTIN to your product.
