Parameters

GS1 DataBar

Note: GS1 DataBar symbologies were previously known as "Reduced Space Symbology"
or "RSS".
DataBar Expanded
Note: DataBar Expanded was previously known as "RSS Expanded".
Used to encode primary and supplementary data in retail point-of-sale and other applications.
DataBar Expanded is a variable length symbology that can encode supplementary information in
addition to the 14-digit EAN item identification number and is capable of encoding up to 74
numeric or 41 alphabetic characters.
Where appropriate, use 1 (non-stacked) for better performance over 2 (stacked and non-stacked).
Fixed Symbol Length Status
When enabled, the imager will check the symbol length against the symbol length field,
minus the embedded check character. If disabled, any length would be considered valid.
Fixed Symbol Length
Fixed Symbol Length helps prevent truncations and increases data integrity by ensuring
that only one symbol length will be accepted.
Specifies the exact number of characters that the imager will recognize (this does not
include start, stop, and check character characters). The imager ignores any symbol not
having the specified length.
