Code 32 is mainly used to encode pharmaceutical products in
Italy. Code 32 is used to encode Italian Pharmacode which has the following
structure:
-
'A' character (ASCII 65) which is not really encoded
-
8 digits for Pharmacode (It generally begins/is prefixed with 0 - zero)
-
1 digit for Checksum module 10 which is automatically calculated by Barcode
Professional
The value to encode passed to Barcode Professional must be 8 digits pharmacode
only (prefix it with 0 zero if necessary) because the 9th digit (the checksum)
is automatically calculated by Barcode Professional products.
