GS1-Databar-Expanded
RSS Expanded (GS-1 DataBar Expanded) encodes the EAN.UCC item identification
plus supplementary element strings such as weight and date in a symbol that can be
omni-directionally scanned.

Note:
The data for expanded RSS barcodes must be formatted using AI fields
as defined by the GS-1 specification and comply with the EAN.UCC format.
The GS-1 ISO/IEC 24724 standard specifies these formats.
Note:
It is possible to define an RSS Expanded barcode that will not fit in the
print zone of the EPIC 3000 printer. If this occurs, the printer will attempt to
scale the barcode to fit. If the scaling fails, the barcode may be unreadable.
GS1-Databar-Expanded Stacked
RSS Expanded Stacked (GS-1 DataBar Expanded Stacked) encodes the EAN.UCC
item identification plus supplementary element strings such as weight and date in a
stacked symbol that can be omni-directionally scanned. The ratios between the top and
bottom of this symbol are fixed and are not adjustable. There is also a separator
between the barcodes that has a specific relationship to the top and bottom bars. This
barcode must be printed within a controlled aspect ratio. GS1-Databar Stacked symbols
are typically printed without HRI. To allow HRI to be printed if required the Stacked HRI
may be enabled with a special configuration command.
