GS1 DataBar Expanded
•
‘()’ are used as delimiters for the application identifiers. (printed as the HRI character, but not encoded.)
•
Be sure to include all the application identifiers in the data.
•
If the first data is “01” when an application identifier, left and right parentheses, and * are excluded, the 14th
digit counted from the digit next to “01” is used as the check digit. If the data is incorrect, an error will occur.
•
If the number of digits after “01” is less than 14, a check digit is not added.
(Unlike GS1-128, a symbol “*” cannot be used for automatic calculation and addition of a check digit. If “*” is
added in the data, it will be ignored and the subsequent data is shifted by one digit.)
•
