Setting EAN-8

EAN-8 barcode is a barcode that uses only numeric characters and a check digit. This barcode accepts only seven numbers as a string to calculate a check digit (CheckSum) and add it to the eighth position. The check digit is an additional digit that can be used to verify that the barcode has been scanned accurately. When the CheckSum property is set to True, the check digit is automatically added.
