GS1 DataBar Omni-directional / RSS-14

GS1 DataBar Omni-directional encodes the full 14-digit EAN.UCC item identification in a linear symbol that can be scanned omni-directionally by suitably programmed point-of-sale scanners. It has been developed to increase the number of unique codes and to meet the needs of encoding more information into smaller space. It has two versions, standard and truncated.

RSS-14 Truncated / GS1 DataBar Truncated

The GS1 DataBar Truncated has the exact same data characteristics as the GS1 DataBar barcode, except the bar height is set to the GS1 DataBar standard of 13 times the X dimension. GS1 DataBar Truncated may be scanned omni-directionally.

RSS-14 Stacked / GS1 DataBar Stacked

RSS-14 Stacked is a variation of the RSS-14 symbology that is stacked in two rows and is used when the normal symbol would be too wide for the application. It comes in two versions, a truncated version used for small item marking applications and a taller omni-directional version which is designed to be read by omni-directional scanners.

RSS-14 Stacked Omni-directional / GS1 DataBar Stacked Omni-directional

The GS1 DataBar Stacked Omni-directional may be scanned omni-directionally. This symbology does not allow for human readable text with the barcode. The data to encode is separated to create a split level barcode. The height of each row is ascertained from the bar height property of the control. The barcode contains a separator pattern, containing no data, which has a height equal to 3 times the X dimension.

RSS-14 Limited / GS1 DataBar Limited

The GS1 DataBar Limited encodes a 14-digit EAN.UCC item identification with Indicator digits of zero or one in a linear symbol for use on small items that will not be scanned at the point-of-sale.

RSS-14 Expanded / GS1 DataBar Expanded

GS1 DataBar Expanded encodes EAN.UCC item identification plus supplementary AI element strings such as weight and "best before" date in a linear symbol that can be scanned omni-directionally by suitably programmed point-of-sale scanners.

RSS-14 Expanded Stacked / GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked

GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked is a variation of the RSS-14 Expanded symbology that is stacked into multiple rows and is used when the normal symbol would be too wide for the application.

Major Types of Linear 1D Barcode

LEADTOOLS Barcode SDK Modules are the most comprehensive barcode toolkits on the market, supporting both reading and writing of over 100 barcode types and sub-types, including all major 1D and 2D barcodes.
LEADTOOLS offers the fastest barcode recognition speed. LEADTOOLS Barcode SDK Modules can recognize barcodes faster than other commercial engines. Our superior speed reduces "bottle neck" issues in high speed scanning applications. In addition, you can maximize the benefits of today's high speed processors.
LEADTOOLS is designed to allow our developers to add new barcode types and barcode "flavors" rapidly. If you find a barcode that we cannot recognize, we will be able to update our engine quickly to add the barcode type.
LEADTOOLS Barcode SDK Modules can be added on to or are included in LEADTOOLS Document Imaging SDKs. These products include powerful document image processing and enhancement technology to clean noisy or damaged images to improve barcode and OCR accuracy.
Integrating barcode functionality into your application is very easy - one function to read barcodes and one function to write barcodes. We have sample applications with source code ready for you to cut and paste into your project.
LEADTOOLS Barcode SDK Modules support both bitonal and color barcode images.
LEADTOOLS has optimized and trained our barcode engines to provide very high accuracy even on poor quality images. The better the accuracy, the less human interaction that is required resulting in substantial savings of time and money.
LEADTOOLS offers several other toolkits that can be integrated with the Barcode SDK Modules. These SDKs include many additional imaging features such as extensive image file format support for reading and writing several raster, vector, and document file types, numerous image processing routines, document image clean-up, annotation, compression, scanning, medical imaging components, multimedia components, and mobile device support.
