Can I create a Leitcode just by entering a delivery address?

No. A written address is not valid input. You need the numeric routing data from your carrier or shipping system, including its street identifier and product code. This tool draws those digits as a barcode; it does not look up addresses or create a paid shipping label.

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.
