The relevant information of barcode scanner EAN13 is as follows:

I. Overview of EAN13

EAN13 barcode is a commodity barcode standard consisting of 13 digits, which is used to uniquely identify commodities worldwide. It is formulated and managed by the International Article Numbering Association (GS1) and is one of the most commonly used barcodes in the field of commodity circulation. EAN13 barcodes are widely used in various fields such as retail, logistics, and manufacturing.

II. Structure of EAN13

EAN13 barcode consists of the following parts:

Country Code (GC): authorized by the International Article Numbering Association, indicating the country or region where the commodity represented by the barcode is registered. my country's country code is 690-699, of which 690-693 is the most common country code.

Manufacturer Identification Code (MI): issued by the National Commodity Barcode Promotion Committee to the applicant manufacturer to identify the specific manufacturer or brand. The length of the manufacturer identification code varies according to the country code. When it starts with 690 or 691, the manufacturer identification code is four digits, and when it starts with 692 or 693, the manufacturer identification code is five digits.

Product Item Code (PI): A number freely set by the manufacturer to identify a single product. The length of the product item code also varies according to the country code. When it starts with 690 or 691, the product item code is five digits, and when it starts with 692 or 693, the product item code is four digits.

Check Code (CC): It is used to check the correctness of the entire barcode and is the last digit of the barcode. The calculation method of the check code can detect the correctness of the previous 12 digits.

3. Features of EAN13

Global compatibility: EAN13 barcode is an internationally accepted product barcode standard that can uniquely identify products worldwide, providing convenience for the circulation of products.

Information richness: EAN13 barcode contains multiple parts such as country code, manufacturer identification code, product item code and check code, which can accommodate rich product information.

Identification accuracy: EAN13 barcode adopts specific encoding rules and checksum mechanism to ensure the accuracy of barcode identification.

Easy to print and identify: EAN13 barcode adopts specific bar-space structure and width ratio, which is easy to print and identify and suitable for various printing devices and scanning devices.

IV. Barcode scanner support for EAN13

Most modern barcode scanners support the scanning and identification of EAN13 barcodes. For example, XTIOT's barcode scanner can obtain the information of EAN13 barcodes through laser scanning, camera shooting, etc., and transfer it to a computer or other device for processing. The use of barcode scanners can greatly improve the efficiency of commodity information entry and management.

V. Summary

EAN13 barcode is a global commodity barcode standard with the characteristics of global universality, rich information, recognition accuracy and easy printing and identification. As a tool for obtaining EAN13 barcode information, barcode scanners play an important role in modern business activities. By using barcode scanners, rapid entry and management of commodity information can be achieved, improving the efficiency and accuracy of business activities.
