Has anyone conformed to this new standard with printing? I'm not sure
how to do it.
The idea bechind the Sunrise initiative was merely that people be capable
of scanning and storing both larger and smaller barcodes. You had to go
through and increase the size of your UPC code fields in the databases to
at least 14 digits.
Scanning software has to be capable of scanning a barcode of any length
from 8-14 digits, and then right-adjusting/zero filling the data before
putting it into the 14 digit database field.
As far as I know, there has been no initiative for anyone to change the
way they print their barcodes. The whole idea was that ANY method of
printing will work with any compliant scanner.
... but the answer there is to conform to scan the new length, but not
to conform to printing it as such. We need to reproduce the UPC to put
it on the package when we send it out, so we do need to print a 13- or
14-digit UPC.
You shouldn't need to change the way you're printing your UPCs at this
time. IF you're currently printing 13-digit EAN barcodes, go ahead and
keep using them, just drop one of the leading zeroes to make your 14-digit
barcode a 13-digit barcode.
As far as I know, that hasn't changed.
