• Description: A contraction of the EAN category for normal UPCs. The EAN is entered and displayed in a shortened format consisting of one leading zero, a six-figure EAN code, and a single-figure check digit. It is stored in the database in the long format like the regular EAN category for UPCs. The advantage of this EAN category is that a UPC-E can be entered quickly and the UPC-E occupies less space, for example, on labels on small articles.
