Satelite Plus Realtime Barcodes
	The following specifications describe the various Satelite Plus realtime barcode formats. The general appearance using similar dimensions of a printed coupon is shown below with the optional large bundle number printed over the barcode.
	Barcode specifications: Coupon size - 2.5" x 7.0" Format - Interleaved 2-of-5 Digits - 10-digit fixed length Dimensions - 20 mil narrow bar, 50 mil wide bar Length with start- and stop-patterns is approximately 1.75". Position - Barcode must extend from 0.300" from bottom of card to 0.750" from bottom of card. To provide 0.125" (1/8 inch) allowance in placing the barcode on the form, these dimensions should be extended to: 0.175" and 0.875". A quiet zone (white space) of 0.500" must be present at each end of the barcode.

Note: The parameter controlling this is "Jobs Entered by Control". If it is set to "Y" (yes) these two positions contain the control number 01-16. Otherwise, these positions are zero.

Example: "2800274008" represents 6-digit bundle #800274, control "00" (control number is not included in this configuration), with checksum of 8.

Example: "2080027490" represents 7-digit bundle #0800274, control "00" (control number is not included in this configuration), with checksum of 0.

Satelite Plus Batch Option Barcodes
	The following specifications describe the various Satelite Plus batch data entry barcode formats. The general appearance is not to scale. The top line of text can be eliminated to produce a taller barcode.
	Barcode specifications: Coupon size - 7/16" x 2.5" (barcoded portion of coupon) Format - Interleaved 2-of-5 Digits - 10-digit fixed length Dimensions - 20 mil narrow bar, 50 mil wide bar Length with start- and stop-patterns is approximately 1.75". Position - Barcode must extend from 1/5" from bottom of card to 7/16" from bottom of card. A quiet zone (white space) of 3/8" must be present at each end of the barcode.

Barcode Checksum Calculation

The barcode contains a modulo-10 checksum as the last digit of each barcode. The following paragraphs describe the calculation of the checksum. Position 10 is the rightmost checksum digit position.

From left to right not counting the checksum digit position the positions are numbered 9 --> 1 (or 11 --> 1 for 12 digit codes):
- starting left to right, multiply the digit in the position by the position number, e.g. for 10-digit barcodes you would multiply 9 x left most digit, 8 x the next digit, 7 x the next, etc.
- after each multiplication add to the current sum, but keeping only the units digit, e.g. 16, keep 6; 25, keep 5; etc.
When all positions have been computed the checksum = 10 - current sum. If the result equals 10 (current sum is zero), the checksum = 0.

Example: Calculate the checksum digit for 283274109c.

Checksum Calculation Example
(A) Position	B. Digit Value	Product AxB	Remainder	Running Sum
9	2	18	8	8
8	8	64	4	2
7	3	21	1	3
6	2	12	2	5
5	7	35	5	0
4	4	16	6	6
3	1	3	3	9
2	0	0	0	9
1	9	9	9	8
Checksum Computed as 10 - 8 = 2
