Unchecking Hide Check Digit For Code 128

Legacy Poster

Hi

 

I'm trying to create a barcode using Code 128. The customer wants me to make the check digit visible on the barcode, but that option is grayed out in the properties.

 

Is there a way to display the check digit?

 

Example of my barcode: +B090R93X0/$$80106169430000

  The Code 128 check digit is not optional for the symbology, and is hidden as its check digit can be a control character value which has no visual representation.  This therefore is impossible no matter what software or printer you use.

  Can I use the visual basic script to show the check digit?

   

  The barcode is separated into five data sources, so I'm not sure how that would work.

   

  Data sources:

  +B090R93X0/

  $$8

  01

  0616

  9430000

  Just found out that our barcode software, LVS 9510 Integra series, is actually reading the last 0 of the 9430000 field as the check digit.  According to the check digital calculator, the check digit should be a "Z".
