string_value |
The value represented by the bar code |
This function prints the variable bar code for the string_value using the EAN 13 standard, which consists of an 13-digit numeric code. To print the bar codes, a special bar code font is needed.
The EAN-13 code is used for overseas applications where a country code is required. The UPC-A symbology is actually a subset of the EAN-13 symbology.
This bar code is composed of two numbers for the country code, 10 numbers for the data characters, and a checksum. The checksum is generated automatically.
