c Application Identifier (from AI table corresponding to data to be encoded). d Data to be encoded (format depends on AI). e A Code-128 checksum character. 6 RSS-14 (including all variants: Expanded, Truncated, Limited, and Stacked) RSS-14 encodes the full 14-digit EAN/UCC item identification in a linear symbol that can be scanned omnidirectionally by suitably programmed point-of-sale scanners. RSS Limited encodes 14-digit EAN/UCC item identification with Indicator digits of zero or one in a linear symbol for use on small items that will not be scanned at the point-of-sale. RSS Expanded encodes EAN/UCC item identification plus supplementary AI element strings such as weight and "best before" date in a linear symbol that can be scanned omnidirectionally by suitably programmed point-of-sale scanners. It can also be printed in multiple rows as a stacked symbol. RSS-14 Stacked is a variation of the RSS-14 symbology that is stacked in two rows and is used when the normal symbol would be too wide for the application. It comes in two versions, a truncated version used for small item marking applications and a taller omnidirectional version which is designed to be read by omnidirectional scanners. To add the Composite component, add the "pipe" character ("|"), decimal 124, or hex 7C to the end of the normal bar code data, and then place the Composite data after that. Any amount of data up to the maximum (refer to the AIM site) may be specified. For all linear component barcodes, the two EAN/UCC 2D Composite Components (CC-A or CC-B) are internally selected within the bar code engine to accommodate the needed data capacity and they need not be specified by the user. The sequence stands for ESCape, or 1Bh. For example, this is a RSS-14 Composite bar code sequence: (s36b24810T01234567890123|Lexmark(s0p12h10vsb4099T • Beginning with a RSS-14 24810T sequence • Followed by RSS-14 data "01234567890123" • Followed by a "|" pipe character • Followed by the Composite data string: "Lexmark" • Followed by a complete 4099T sequence to change back to a default font.

RSS-14 (including all variants: Expanded, Truncated, Limited, and Stacked)
RSS-14 encodes the full 14-digit EAN/UCC item identification in a linear symbol that can be
scanned omnidirectionally by suitably programmed point-of-sale scanners.
RSS Limited encodes 14-digit EAN/UCC item identification with Indicator digits of zero or one
in a linear symbol for use on small items that will not be scanned at the point-of-sale.
RSS Expanded encodes EAN/UCC item identification plus supplementary AI element strings
such as weight and "best before" date in a linear symbol that can be scanned
omnidirectionally by suitably programmed point-of-sale scanners. It can also be printed in
multiple rows as a stacked symbol.
RSS-14 Stacked is a variation of the RSS-14 symbology that is stacked in two rows and is
used when the normal symbol would be too wide for the application. It comes in two versions,
a truncated version used for small item marking applications and a taller omnidirectional
version which is designed to be read by omnidirectional scanners.
To add the Composite component, add the “pipe” character (“|”), decimal 124, or hex 7C to the end of
the normal bar code data, and then place the Composite data after that. Any amount of data up to
the maximum (refer to the AIM site) may be specified.
For all linear component barcodes, the two EAN/UCC 2D Composite Components (CC-A or CC-B)
are internally selected within the bar code engine to accommodate the needed data capacity and
they need not be specified by the user.
The <Esc> sequence stands for ESCape, or 1Bh.
For example, this is a RSS-14 Composite bar code sequence:
<Esc>(s36b24810T01234567890123|Lexmark<Esc>(s0p12h10vsb4099T
•
Beginning with a RSS-14 24810T sequence
•
Followed by RSS-14 data “01234567890123”
•
Followed by a “|” pipe character
•
Followed by the Composite data string: “Lexmark”
•
Followed by a complete 4099T sequence to change back to a default font.
