How to use the symbology ID for ISBN and ISSN
ISBN and ISSN bar codes are normally 10 digits in length (see the PCL5 section above for a
complete description), but they have “extensions” known as ISSN+2, ISSN+5, and ISBN+5.
Obtaining these variants is not done by adding a “-5” or “-2” to the end of the Symbology ID, but by
adding 2 or 5 more characters to the string that defines the bar code.
For example, an ISSN+5 bar
code would be defined in PostScript as follows:
%!PS
%
/Courier findfont
12 scalefont
200 400 moveto
