Why are there two extra characters under the barcode?

The encoder automatically adds two CRC check characters and shows them with the printed text. Enter only your original identifier, without those characters. They help detect reading errors; they are not an extra part of your stock number.

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.
