  1. Enter an assigned ISBN-13 or a valid ISBN-10 for automatic conversion.

  2. Choose an EAN-5 price supplement or select 90000 for no suggested retail price.

  3. Inspect the primary and add-on symbols independently before exporting prepress-ready PDF, SVG, PNG, or ZPL.

Preflight validates supported identifiers and geometry; it does not certify scanner grades. Fix every red error before exporting.
