Field - composed of the bank code, currency code, the first five positions of the free field and the check digit of this field; 2. Field - composed of positions 6 to 15 of the free field and the check digit of this field; 3. Field - composed of positions 16 to 25 of the free field and the check digit of this field; 4. Field - check digit of the barcode; and 5. Field - composed of the nominal value of the document, without indication of leading zeros and without editing (no period and no comma). When the value is zero, the representation must be 000 (three zeros). Note 1: edit the first three fields with a period. Note 2: the data of the numerical representation are not presented in the same order as the barcode, but rather in accordance with the sequence described above. Note 3: the check digits referring to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd fields are not represented in the barcode. III - printing frame: - presents grid/field names according to the attached model; - the size of each field (number of positions) may vary,
provided that the same layout of the model and the minimum dimensions of the form are observed; - unused fields may be left without indication; - if the "PORTFOLIO" field is not used, it may be incorporated into the "BANK USE" field. IV - in the lower part, below the printing frame: - at the right end: field intended for authentication; - at the left end: field intended for mandatory indication of the barcode, which must be of the "2 of 5 interleaved" type; Note 1: "2 of 5" means that 5 bars define 1 character, two of which are wide bars. Note 2: "interleaved" means that the spaces between bars also have meaning, analogously to the bars. Note 3: the following distances must be observed: - 12 mm from the lower margin of the form to the center of the barcode; - 5 mm from the left side of the form to the start of the barcode (quiet zone). Note 4: the length of the barcode is 103 mm. Note 5: the height of the barcode is 13 mm. - below the barcode, identification of the form (Clearing Form), with a maximum dimension of 2 mm and strokes with lines of 0.3 mm; and - without prejudice to the indication on the front, the barcode may also be indicated in the upper right part of the back of the Clearing Form.

Note 2: for the calculation, consider positions 1 to 4 and 6 to 44, starting from the 44th position and skipping the 5th position. b) Drawee's Receipt: at the discretion of each bank.
