OCR Check Digit Multiplier

Parameter #
700
(SSI # F1h BCh)
This parameter sets OCR check digit multipliers for character positions.
For check digit validation, each character in scanned data has an assigned weight to use in calculating the check digit. The scanner OCR ships with the following weight equivalents:
0 = 0
A = 10
K = 20
U = 30
1 = 1
B = 11
L = 21
V = 31
2 = 2
C = 12
M = 22
W = 32
3 = 3
D = 13
N = 23
X = 33
4 = 4
E = 14
O = 24
Y = 34
5 = 5
F = 15
P = 25
Z = 35
6 = 6
G = 16
Q = 26
Space = 0
7 = 7
H = 17
R = 27
8 = 8
I = 18
S = 28
9 = 9
J = 19
T = 29
All other characters are equivalent to one (1).
You can define the multiplier string if it is different from the default.

ISBN uses Modulus 11 for the check digit. In this case, 132 is divisible by 11, so it passes the check digit.
