RSS Limited
RSS Limited is a linear symbology that encodes the same data as
defined for all four types of RSS-14. The encodation process is
different and limits the values assigned for Indicator digits to 1 or
0. This form of RSS can be printed very small and is not generally intended for
omnidirectional scanning. RSS Limited contains two large data characters and a Mod 89
symbology check character. It does not have stacked or omnidirectional formats and is
designed for small item identification.
RSS Expanded
RSS Expanded is a variable length, linear symbology that is
encoded differently than RSS-14. This symbology allows up to 74
numeric or 41 alphabetic characters. This form of RSS can be
printed at densities that can be omnidirectionally scanned. It is used to to encode 14 digits

Expanded encodes all EAN.UCC Application Identifier Element Strings. Special
compaction methods have been designed to decrease the symbol size for common Element
Strings.

mail. The code must not appear on tray labels for non bar-coded mail.
This standard is applicable since July 1997. Due to its simplicity, the Zebra code is
