8.1.24.4 RSS-14 Stacked Omni-directional
RSS-14 Stacked Omni-directional has the exact same data characteristics as the Standard
RSS-14 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. This symbology may be scanned omni-directionally. This symbology does not
allow for human readable text with the barcode.

8.1.24.5 RSS-14 Limited
RSS-14 Limited has the same data characteristics as the Standard RSS-14 barcode, except
that it may only include values up to 4 trillion. This symbology is specifically designed to be
read by wands and handheld laser scanners. Omni-directional scanners can not read it
efficiently.

8.1.24.6 RSS-14 Expanded
RSS-14 Expanded is a variable length symbology capable of encoding up to 74 numeric or
41 alphabetic characters. This symbology does allow for the linkage flag, which determines
if there is a 2D composite barcode associated with the linear barcode. Despite the possible
length of the symbol, it can still be omni directionally read by suitably programmed laser
point-of-sale scanners because the symbol can be decode in up to 22 segments and then
reconstructed.

8.1.24.7 How to Print an RSS-14 Barcode
There are two steps to printing an RSS-14 barcode:
1) Send the ^D114 command and the 7 setup parameters
2) Send a label format that calls the RSS-14 barcode TCI #35.
