Format
This parameter allows you to set the bar code character format to either ASCII
or Numeric.
Minimum Length
Minimum lengths for the bar code can be set from 0 to 255. The length of a code refers to
the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s).
Length Restriction
Refer to “Length Restriction” on pageD-8 for details.
Add/Remove Data
Refer to “Add/Remove Data” on pageD-9 for details.
D.3.18 RSS Code (Reduced Space Symbology)Enable
Setting this parameter to on enables “RSS Code” scanning capability.
Enable RSS-14
RSS-14 code can be either purely linear or split in half with one half stacked on top of the
other half. Stacking the code reduces the bar code length, and providing the nominal height
of the code is maintained, it can be omni-directionally scanned.
Enable RSS Limited
“RSS-Limited” is restricted, in that it can only encode 14 digit GTINs (global trade item
number) that begin with either a 0 or a 1. It is not stackable and is not designed to be read
omni-directionally.
Enable RSS Expanded
“RSS Expanded” uses the same application identifiers as UCC/EAN-128 codes but they can
be split into sections and stacked several rows high, reducing the length of the symbol, while
increasing the capacity of data that can be stored. “RSS Expanded” code can be omni-direc-
tionally scanned.
Length Restriction
Refer to “Length Restriction” on pageD-8 for details.
