Why is my valid GTIN starting with 2 rejected?

Limited only supports GTINs starting with 0 or 1. Do not change the first digit or add a zero to force a number to fit. Keep the assigned GTIN and choose a format your system supports, such as GS1 DataBar Omnidirectional. This tool does not issue GTINs. Test a final-size print with the intended scanner.

How do I check the code before printing?

Leave the white margins intact, keep the image in proportion and scan a sample at its final printed size with the device you intend to use.
