There are no setting changes for it to work

Are those first 3 numbers 978 or 979? (those are the EAN number ranges reserved for books).

A Red condition indicates a Check Digit (the 13th last digit) calculation mismatch.
Numbers Only (no I, l or O allowed

)

Publishers have been known to make printing/calculation (bar code) errors.
While I have not seen it done on books, I have seen "made up" EAN numbers on food goods imported to the USA..
