EAN (European Article Number)
This function prints the variable barcode for the string using the EAN13 standard, which consists of an 12 digit numeric code. To print the barcodes, a special barcode font is needed.
The EAN13 code is used for overseas applications where a country code is required. The UPCA symbology is actually a subset of the EAN13 symbology.
This barcode is composed of 2 numbers for the country code, 10 numbers for the data characters, and a checksum. The checksum is generated automatically.
