RSS-14 is a linear symbology that facilitates
omnidirectional scanning. It encodes 14 digits of
numerical data used to identify Global Trade Item
Numbers (GTIN) in the supply chain.
RSS-14 Truncated allows truncation (shortening the
height of a bar code) of the height to 13 times the
nominal printing density (X dimension multiplied by
13) instead of 33X.
RSS-14 Stacked allows the truncated RSS-14 to be
printed in two rows of two segments each.
RSS Limited uses a different encoding process and
limits the values assigned for indicator digits to 1 or
0.
RSS Expanded is a variable length, linear
symbology that is encoded differently than RSS-14.
This symbology allows up to 74 numeric or 41
alphabetic characters.
RSS-14 Stacked Omnidirectional allows the full
height RSS-14 to be printed in two rows of two
segments each.
