Of the ISSN number is a check digit which automatically encoded with the Barcode Image Generator when the “ Use Check Digit” check box is populated.Ĭhoose 1.80 for the Bar Height and. Under the Barcode Propertiest ab in the Data to Encode in Barcode field, enter the 12-digit ISSN number beginning with 977 and ending with 00.

After the EAN13 font is installed, install the Barcode Image Generator.Install the UPC/EAN Barcode Font Package.The step-by-step process to create an ISSN barcode using the Barcode Image Generator is as follows: The Barcode Image Generator used in this tutorial contains a useful capability that allows automatic check digit calculation simply by checking the appropriate box. In this case, the next highest multiple of 10 is 110 and the difference between 110 and 106 is 4.īecause manually calculating check digits can be complicated, IDAutomation offers a free online barcode font encoder that automatically calculates the Mod10 check digit for an EAN13 barcode in addition to several other symbologies. The difference between the step 3 result and the next highest multiple of 10 is the EAN13 check digit.Add the results from steps 1 & 2 to get 106.Starting with the second number on the right, take the sum of all even numbers ( 97 72 49 65 52 00) to get 31.Starting with the first number on the right, take the sum of all odd numbers (9 77 24 96 55 20 0) and multiply by 3 to get 75.To calculate the EAN13 mod10 check digit manually, follow these simple instructions: After this, the EAN13 check digit must be added to the end of the string. Using the image example above, an ISSN 2496-5524, the data to be encoded should be 977249655200. To encode the ISSN manually, begin the data to be encoded with 977 followed by the first 7 digits of the ISSN, then the 2-digit price code which is usually 00. The first 7 digits of the ISSN (the 8th digit is an ISSN check digit and is discarded when encoding with EAN13)Įncoding an ISSN number into an EAN13 barcode varies in complexity based on how the information is being encoded.

In the case of electronic serial publications, the ISSN barcode number should be displayed on the home or title pages.Īn ISSN barcode is composed of 5 different sections: If this is not possible, other acceptable locations are with the copyright or publisher information. Generate the ISSN Barcodeįor printed serial publications, the ISSN barcode number should be displayed on the upper right-hand portion of the cover. If other types of barcode automation are preferred, IDAutomation offers a variety of barcode font encoders, components and stand-alone applications for this exact purpose. The Barcode Image Generator software is used to create the ISSN barcode in this tutorial, although in other cases it may be better to use IDAutomation’s UPC/EAN Barcode Fonts. Generating an ISSN barcode requires an EAN13 barcode. Once the ISSN number is received, it should be displayed on the cover of the publication, in the upper right corner. If no national ISSN center exists in the specified country, the International Center is responsible for ISSN assignment.

ISSN registration is free of charge, and both ISSN International and National Centers assign the 8-digit number depending on the type of serial publication, whether the publication is intended for international or national distribution, and whether there is a national center located within the country of origin. This tutorial will take you through the process of creating an ISSN barcode for any of the above serial publications using the IDAutomation Barcode Image Generator software. ISSN numbers also apply to electronic publications that exist on the Internet, but do not include commercial websites, blogs or web pages, which contain only links to other Internet URLs. Serial publications include periodicals, annual reports, yearbooks, journals, transactions, newspapers and more. The ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) is used to identify serial publications, which are publications that are issued in numerical order, such as the volumes of a magazine.
