Databar Stacked Omni

GS1 DataBar, formerly known as Reduced Space Symbology (RSS), is a large family of barcodes that encode a GTIN-12 or GTIN-13 data structure within a 14 digit barcode. Databar Stacked Omni has the same data characteristics as GS1 DataBar Expanded, but it may be stacked to decrease width and increase height. The various GS1 DataBar symbols have specific features that allow them to be read by different types of scanners and be used in a variety of industries ranging from retail point-of-sale applications, inventory tracking and healthcare.

The GS1 DataBar Stacked Omni can be scanned omni-directionally. This symbology does not allows for human readable text with the barcode. The data to encode is separated to create a split level barcode. The height of each row is ascertained from the bar height property of the control. The barcode contains a separator pattern, containing no data, which has a height equal to 3 times the X dimension.

GS1 DataBar Omni-directional encodes the full 14-digit EAN.UCC item identification in a linear symbol that can be scanned omni-directionally by suitably programmed point-of-sale scanners. It has been developed to increase the number of unique codes and to meet the needs of encoding more information into smaller space.

GS1 DataBar Stacked Omnidirectional is designed to condense the GTIN information into a more compact and square barcode suitable for use on smaller packages (such as the label stickers on fresh produce).

GS1 Databar Omni-directional encodes the full 14-digit EAN. UCC item identification in a linear symbol that can be scanned omni-directionally by suitably programmed point-of-sale scanners. It has been developed to increase the number of unique codes and to meet the needs of encoding more information into smaller space. This type of DataBar barcode is commonly used for coupons, and can encode additional data in POS environments such as the expiration date, product weight, country of origin and serial numbers.
