GS1 DataBar
GS1 DataBar Truncated
GS1 DataBar Stacked

•
Encodes a full 14-digit EAN.UCC item identification
within a linear symbol that can be scanned omni-
directionally.
•
The encodable character set is 0 through 9.
•
The maximum numeric data capacity is the
application identifier plus 14-digit numeric item
identification.
•
Error detection is mod 79 checksum.
•
Encodes a 14-digit EAN.UCC item identification with
indicator digits of zero or one within a linear symbol.
•
The encodable character set is 0 through 9.
•
The maximum numeric data capacity for is the
application identifier plus 14-digit numeric item
identification.
•
Data must begin with indicator 0 or 1. Any higher
number results in discarded data.
