8.1.21.5 RSS-14 Limited
RSS-14 Limited has the same data characteristics as the Standard RSS-14 barcode, except
that it may only include values up to 4 trillion. This symbology is specifically designed to be
read by wands and handheld laser scanners. Omni-directional scanners can not read it
efficiently.
8.1.21.6 RSS-14 Expanded
RSS-14 Expanded is a variable length symbology capable of encoding up to 74 numeric or
41 alphabetic characters. This symbology does allow for the linkage flag, which determines
if there is a 2D composite barcode associated with the linear barcode. Despite the possible
length of the symbol, it can still be omni directionally read by suitably programmed laser
point-of-sale scanners because the symbol can be decode in up to 22 segments and then
reconstructed.

How to Print an RSS-14 Barcode

There are two steps to printing an RSS-14 barcode:
1) Send the ^D114 command and the 7 setup parameters
2) Send a label format that calls the RSS-14 barcode TCI #35.
These are the 7 RSS-14 parameters that MUST follow the ^D114 command:
Valid values for parameters
Type of RSS-14 barcode:
1) 0 = RSS-14 (this is the Standard RSS-14 barcode)
2) 1 = RSS-14 Truncated
3) 2 = RSS-14 Stacked
4) 3 = RSS-14 Stacked Omni-directional
5) 4 = RSS-14 Limited
