Overview

GS1 DataBar Omnidirectional and Truncated are fixed-length, linear symbologies that can be used to encode a 14 digit GTIN.

GS1 DataBar Stacked and Stacked Omnidirectional are fixed-length, stacked linear symbologies that can be used to encode a 14 digit GTIN.

Invokation

• The data field must start with the application identifier characters (01) followed by the first 13 or 14 digits of a GTIN.

• If 13 digits of AI (01) data are supplied then the 14th checkdigit is calculated automatically, otherwise the digits are encoded as supplied.

• The format option is used to select the output format for the barcode symbol
  

  • omni (default) - GS1 DataBar Omnidirectional
    
  • truncated - GS1 DataBar Truncated
    
  • stacked - GS1 DataBar Stacked
    
  • stackedomni - GS1 DataBar Stacked Omnidirectional
