Convert RSS to UPC/EAN
The 14-digit Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) format will become a standard by January 2005 and will uniquely identify products
worldwide. Although it is defined as a 14-digit structure, the barcode may contain 13 digits (EAN-13), 12 digits (UPC), or 8 digits (EAN-
8) of data.
This parameter only applies to RSS-14 and RSS Limited symbols not decoded as part of a Composite symbol. When this conversion
is enabled, RSS-14 and RSS Limited symbols beginning with 010 followed by 13 digits will be converted to EAN-13, and the leading
010 will be stripped.
E.g. 0101234567890128 will be converted to 1234567890128.
Symbols beginning with 0100 followed by 12 digits will be converted to UPC-A, and the leading 0100 will be stripped.
(if the UPC-A Preamble is “System Character and Country Code”)
or
(if the UPC-A Preamble is “System Character”)
or
(if the UPC-A Preamble is “No Preamble”)
E.g. 0100123456789012 will be converted to 0123456789012 if the UPC-A Preamble is “System Character and Country Code,”
123456789012 if the UPC-A Preamble is “System Character,” and 23456789012 if the Preamble is “No Preamble.”
Symbols beginning with 01 and followed by six zeroes and then 8 digits will not be converted.
