The reader performs the check character computation below:

(0 x 3 + 1 x 1 + 2 x 3 + 3 x 1 + 4 x 3 + 5 x 1 + 6 x 3 + 5 x 1)

modulo 10 = 0

a.

Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character

Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so

the reader outputs the message: 0123456

b.

Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character

Starting with the check character and working backward through

the message, the imager applies a multiplier of 1, then 2, then 1,

then 2, and so on. When the result of the multiplication is greater

than 9, add both digits to the running sum. This is often referred to

as the LUHN formula. One common application of the LUHN

formula is validate credit card numbers. This is the modulo 10

checking scheme used in MSI Code and in Code 32

Pharmaceutical (PARAF). To apply this weighting scheme, set the

OCR check character to "0123456789x2x1" or scan the

following symbol:

Example: Scan the Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character symbol.

Also enter the OCR template: ddddddc

Then scan the string below:
