RSS
The RSS, Reduced Space Symbology, family of symbols is used for space-constrained
applications. Currently supported variations include RSS-14, RSS-14 Truncated, RSS Limited
and RSS Expanded. Accompanying 2D Composite Components are currently not supported.
Note that the settings for width/height ratio of the RSS barcodes will differ between 200dpi and
300dpi layouts. The width/height ratio for respective RSS symblology is specified in the
following sections.
RSS-14
RSS-14 is a linear symbology that supports omni-directional scanning. It encodes full 14-
digit EAN/UCC Item Identification. RSS-14 is dimensioned as 96X wide by 33X high. X equals
"X" dimension or narrow bar width. The check-digit is added by the printer.
Example:
!F C S 200 1000 L 200 4 64 "1541215000015"
RSS-14 Truncated
This variant of RSS is identical to RSS-14 but allows truncation of the height to 13X. The
normal RSS-14 symbol has a height of 33X. X equals "X" dimension or narrow bar width. The
check-digit is added by the printer.
Example:
!F C S 200 1000 L 80 4 64 "1541215000015"
RSS Limited
RSS Limited is a linear symbology that encodes the same data as defined for RSS-14. The
encoding process is though different and limits the values assigned for Indicator digits to 1 or
0. The result is an RSS code that can be printed very small. RSS Limited is dimensioned as
71X wide by 10X high. X equals "X" dimension or narrow bar width. X equals "X" dimension or
narrow bar width. The check-digit is added by the printer.
Example:
!F C S 200 1000 L 50 4 67 "1541215000015"
RSS Expanded
RSS Expanded is a variable length, linear symbology that is encoded differently than RSS-
14. This symbology allows up to 74 numeric or 41 alphabetic characters. The FNC1 EAN/UCC
Function Character is also supported by entering “#”. Apart from encoding EAN/UCC Item
Identification, RSS Expanded also encodes all EAN/UCC Application Identifier Element
Strings. Width dimension is variable.
Example:
!F C S 200 1000 L 100 4 68 "1045566#17040301"
