EAN13 - How to avoid country code check

Hi all,
I'm using GdPicture.NET 12.

I have to generate an EAN13 barcode for the numeric sequence '1920100163605'
and 'Barcode1DWrite' return GdPictureStatus.BarcodeInvalidManufacturerCode = 1013.

Is it not possible to avoid the check about country code consistence on the first numbers of sequence?

Thank you very much

Best regards

Elisa

Hi Elisa,

You received the invalid status because the sequence you want to encode has no valid Country Code.
You may not avoid this verification, you must have a valid country code, first three digits, see https://www.gs1.org/standards/id-keys/company-prefix
