RSS Expanded
RSS Expanded encodes EAN.UCC item identification plus supplementary information such as weight
and “best before” dates in a linear symbol that can be scanned omindirectionally by suitably programmed
point-of-sale bar code reader.
RSS Expanded can encode up to 74 numeric or 41 non-numeric characters. For use at point-of-sale for
variable measure identification of items such as meat, seafood and deli.
RSS Stacked
RSS-14 Stacked is a variation of the RSS-14 symbology that cuts the RSS-14 code in half and stacks it
in two rows. It is used when the normal symbol would be too wide for the application. It comes in two
versions, a height truncated version used for small item marking applications and a taller ominidirectional
version which is designed to be read by ominidirectional scanners . RSS Expanded can also be printed in
multiple rows as a stacked symbol.
For use at point-of-sale for variable measure identification such as meat, deli, and seafood
RSS-Truncated
Encodes the full 14-digit GTIN. It is designed for use on items such as cosmetics and jewelry. Its
truncated format is not designed to be read omnidirectionally.
RSS-14 Stacked Omnidirectional
Encodes the full 14-digit GTIN. For use at point-of-sale for items where space limitation require a narrow
and tall symbol. E.g., loose produce items such as apples, potatoes or oranges. The symbol format is
designed for fixed-position omnidirectional scanners commonly used in supermarkets Encodes the full
14-digit GTIN.
Any member of the RSS family can be printed as a stand-alone linear symbol or as a Composite symbol
with an accompanying 2D Composite Component printed directly above the RSS linear component.
RSS/Composite Symbologies
The Composite Symbols family can provide additional supply chain data while allowing for the
coexistence of symbologies already being used. A symbol that combines a linear bar code symbol with a
continued
