The GS1 DataBar 14 (formerly known as RSS-14) is a linear symbology that makes omnidirectional scanning easy. It encodes 14 digits of data used to identify the GTIN (Global Trade Item Numbers) for scanning in the supply chain (for Application Identifier ‘01’).


BarDIMM Pro and BarDIMM Box can generate the DataBar in various flavours: DataBar-14, DataBar-14 Truncated (shorter bars height) and DataBar-14 Stacked (used where a narrower symbol is needed as the DataBar-14 is printed in two rows of two segments each). 


DataBar-14 can also accept 2D Composite Components (CC). Please refer to DataBar-14 + CC in the 2D Barcodes sections further down this manual.
