SBN, ISBN and ISBN-13 - Barcode Type¶
EAN-13 symbols (also known as Bookland EAN-13) can also be produced from 9-digit SBN, 10-digit ISBN, or 13-digit ISBN-13 data. The relevant check digit needs to be present in the input data and will be verified before the symbol is generated. In addition, EAN-2 and EAN-5 add-on symbols can be added using the + symbol, similar to UPC symbols.
During barcode generation for these types, the following errors may be generated:
| Error# | Text | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Input wrong length | Input must be 9, 10, or 13 characters |
| 6 | Invalid characters in input | Use 0-9 and X as characters |
| 6 | Invalid ISBN | 13 character ISBN must start with 97 and be followed by 8 or 9 |
| 7 | Incorrect ISBN check | ISBN number fails on validation |
