◦ To specify the print of composite symbol, delimit one-dimensional data and two-dimensional
data with '|' (7Ch).
Data = One-dimensional data | Two-dimensional data
◦ Data of GS1 DataBar Composite (CC-A/CC-B) are needed to be specified between the 1st
and 16th digit of GS1 DataBar Expanded Composite (CC-A/CC-B) data.
◦ GS1 DataBar Expanded Composite (CC-A/CC-B) can contain GS1 DataBar Composite
(CC-A/CC-B) data and 74 digits of numeric character and 41 digits of alphabet.
(When numeric characters and alphabets are mixed, GS1 DataBar Composite (CC-A/CC-
B) data and 41 digit characters can be specified.)

◦ When specified data do not reach the maximum digits, blank is filled by zero.
◦ 2D data can contain up to 338 digits, but it varies by the type of Barcode.
◦ Barcode may stick out of the label depending on data and the number of digit, and scanner
cannot read it. Adjust print data beforehand so that the barcode can fit to the label.
◦ For UPC-A Composite, you can only specify 11 digits for data entry, however when 12 digits
is specified for the compatibility purpose, EAN13 Composite (CC-A/CC-B) is generated.

• Parameter
a [One-dimensional barcode type]
11 : GS1-128 Composite (CC-A/CC-B)
12 : GS1-128 Composite (CC-C)
b [Minimum bar width] = 01 to 12 dots
c [Barcode height] = 001 to 500 dots
* Specify barcode height when minimum bar width is "01".
* When specifying minimum bar width "03", Barcode height "100", Barcode height become 300 dots.
n [Print data] = Data (Up to 120 digits including 1D and 2D barcode)
Maximum number of digits that can specify by merging 1D and 2D (There is a limit for the
maximum number of digits of 1D data.)

◦ To specify the print of composite symbol, delimit one-dimensional data and two-dimensional
data with'|'(7CH).
Data = One-dimensional data | Two-dimensional data
◦ Use '#'(23H) to specify CC-A/B (Micro RDF), FNC1 (GS) of CC-C (for PDF417) as data.
◦ 2D data for GS1-128 (UCC/EAN128) With CC-A/B can contain up to 338 digits.
◦ Barcode part of GS1-128 Composite is GS1-128 (UCC/EAN128).
