This Symbology is also known as GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional Composite Barcode, GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional CC-A (CCA), GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional CC-B (CCB), GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional Composite A, GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional Composite B, GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional 2D Composite, GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional Composite Component A, GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional Composite Component B

This Barcode Symbology is supported by the following Neodynamic products:

Overview

GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional (Formerly RSS-14 Stacked Omnidirectional - Reduced Space Symbology) CC-A and CC-B Composite BarcodesIn Barcode Composite Symbology, the linear component encodes the item's primary identification while the adjacent 2D Composite Component (abbreviated as CC) encodes supplementary data, such as a batch number and expiration date. The Composite Symbol always includes a linear component so that the primary identification is readable by all scanning technologies. The Composite Symbol always includes a multi-row 2D Composite Component that can be read with linear- and area-CCD scanners, and with linear and rastering laser scanners. The 2D Composite Component is printed above the linear component and both are separated by a separator pattern.

GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional (formerly RSS-14 Stacked Omnidirectional) Composite Barcode is an GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional linear barcode linked to a 2D barcode called CC-A or CC-B.
  • GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional can identify small items and carry more information than the current EAN/UPC barcode. GS1 DataBar enables GTIN identification for hard-to-mark products like fresh foods, jewelry and do-it-yourself hardware products and can carry GS1 Application Identifiers (AI) such as serial numbers, lot numbers, and expiration dates. This creates the opportunity for solutions supporting product authentication and traceability, product quality and effectiveness, variable measure product identification, and couponing. GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional is a full height, two-row version of the GS1 DataBar-14 Barcode Symbol that is designed to be read by an omnidirectional scanner, such as a retail slot scanner.
  • The 2D Composite Component that can be liked to GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional can be one of the following depending on the amount of supplementary data to be encoded:
    • CC-A: it is a variant of MicroPDF417 barcode and the smallest of the 2D Composite Components which can encode up to 56 digits.
    • CC-B: it is a subset of MicroPDF417 barcode which can encode up to 338 digits. Encoding systems normally automatically select CC-B when the data to be encoded exceeds the capacity of CC-A.

Note: Please refer to the Class Reference documentation for more information about the properties and methods stated in this document.
In order to get GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked Omnidirectional CC-A and CC-B Composite Barcode images, please follow these steps:
  • Set the Symbology property to GS1DataBarStackedOmnidirectionalCCA or GS1DataBarStackedOmnidirectionalCCB or GS1DataBar14StackedOmnidirectionalCCA or GS1DataBar14StackedOmnidirectionalCCB or Rss14StackedOmnidirectionalCCA or Rss14StackedOmnidirectionalCCB
  • Setting up dimensions and quiet zones:
    • Set the BarWidth property to 0.0208 (Value is expressed in Inches)
    • Set the BarRatio property to 3
    • Set the BarHeight property to 0.6864 (33 * BarWidth) or higher (Value is expressed in Inches)
  • Set the Code property with the primary and secondary values separated by | char (See example below).
  • Set the Text property to the Secondary Data which was encoded into the 2D Component
