How to manually calculate checksum for Code 128 C

Tagged With:-

Ok I have been over this and over this and I must be missing something, can you break this down for me on how to calculate this checksum for:

(01)60000116030603

Your tool gives me BED as the checksum character (#103, g or 71 MOD value) but when I follow the rules I get a sum of 2599 which MOD 103 is 24 or #56. Anyway, can you just break this one down digit by digit for me and show me how your tool gets a MOD value of 71 (BED)? Thanks!

Ben	Best Answer Code 128 Fonts The Code 128 Check Character calculation for A, B, or C can be a complex process. To avoid mathematical errors, IDAutomation recommends free font encoders. When using the Code 128 chart, always pull the Value for the character set to encode; do not use the ASCII value. For example, the paired value 54 for Code 128 C is 54. To generate the check digit for the data that is GS1-128, the start character is set C, and the data: (01)60000116030603 must be split into pairs. The parentheses around the Application Identifier signifies that the FNC1. This character must also be taken into consideration when calculating the check digit. 1. Split the data into pairs: 01 60 00 01 16 03 06 03 2. Retrieve the value for each character based on the Character Set Chart. FNC1 Character Ê is 102 01 is 01 60 is 60 00 is 00 01 is 01 16 is 16 03 is 03 06 is 06 03 is 03 3. Calculate the total and the Start Character value. For Code 128 C, it is 105. 105 + (102 x 1) + (01 x 2) + (60 x 3) + (00 x 4) + (01 x 5) + (16 x 6) + (03 x 7) + (06 x 8) + (03 x 9) = 586 4. Calculate the Checksum. 586 divided by 103 = 5 remainder of 71. The character for the value 71 is g. The check character (checksum) is g. NOTE: If using Code 128 A, use Start 103. If using Code 128 B, use Start 104. CODE 128 B Check Digit Example NOT FAMILIAR WITH LONG DIVISION Long Division Help Posted 10.1 year(s) ago (0) (0) Report Abuse
