d. Subtract the sum from the next highest multiple of 10.

e. The difference is the Check Digit.

f. Example:
Scan Line: 2080254012000000123456789123120181200199$$$$$$$$cc
Positions: 10-36: 200000012345678912312018120
Right most position and every other position: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, 0, 0, 2
Multiply by 2: 1, 2, 2, 4, 6, 2, 16, 12, 8, 4, 0, 0, 0, 4
Digits not multiplied (from right to left): 2, 8, 0, 1, 2, 9, 7, 5, 3, 1, 0, 0, 0

Add the digits: 1st number {0+2+2+4+6+2+(1+6)+(1+2)+8+4+0+0+0+4}+
2nd number {1+8+0+1+2+9+7+5+3+1+0+0+0} =
Sum: 42 + 38 = 80
