my barcode is 13 digits- 1, 123456, 123456. what type is it? I extensively checked the internet but could not find the specific barcode on my products. I have only 10 items and before I buy a barcode generator I want to double check if there is any free of charge software or add ons.I would be interested to know the following:-- What type is the 13 digits I have. I am sure the factory sent the UPC to me? (I discovered that the UPCA is 12 and the UPCE is 8)- Is there any free barcode creator software you would recommend?
      Answer1:If you can get Barcoda, its a good programAlso, I only work with 13 digit barcodes. usually starting with 600...I think it is UK... but Im not sure.Also, Printers (those that print labels) can print Barcodes for you if you need it.If you only want a few, email me I have a barcode generator.C
      Answer2:>> my barcode is 13 digits- 1, 123456, 123456. what type is it? Technically it is an EAN-13 but your check digit is wrong:http://www.barcoderobot.com/services/bar...Closest correct BC is http://www.barcoderobot.com/services/bar...Country prefix for this BC is 112, it is US in principle but very uncommon. US rarely allocates anything else that fits into UPC-A. >> I want to double check if there is any free of charge software or add ons.try http://barcoderobot.com>> I would be interested to know the following:->> What type is the 13 digits I have. I am sure the factory sent the UPC to me? (I discovered that the UPCA is 12 and the UPCE is 8)It is EAN-13 with wrong check digit. It seems just a bogus number.I suggest you start the BC generation with exact knowledge of your prefix number. Say Pepsi US has "0120000". Once this is known you sequentially generate the UPC-As:http://www.barcoderobot.com/upc-a/012000...http://www.barcoderobot.com/upc-a/012000...http://www.barcoderobot.com/upc-a/012000...or (if export out of US) EAN-13http://www.barcoderobot.com/ean-13/00120...http://www.barcoderobot.com/ean-13/00120...http://www.barcoderobot.com/ean-13/00120...- Is there any free barcode creator software you would recommend?There is a bunch of free image generators of various quality on the net. Search for barcode image generation ...
