EAN 5 - bwipp/postscriptbarcode GitHub Wiki
EAN-5 is the five-digit add-on code that accompanies an EAN or UPC type barcode symbol such as an ISBN or ISSN.
Also known as: Five-Digit Add-On, Five-Digit Supplement, UPC-5
Note: The use of a five-digit add-on with EAN-8 is not defined by any symbology standard.
Deprecated. Standalone use of the EAN-5 encoder is discouraged. It is better to include an addon by specifying the supplicant's value as an extension to the data for the primary symbol. For example, 978-1-873671-00-9 54499
for a symbol representing the ISBN 978-1-873671-00-9 with recommended retail price $44.99 USD denoted using a five-digit addon.
