RSS-14 Limited consists of 74 modules subdivided into 46 elements. The code words consist of 26 modules
and are represented with 7 spaces and 7 bars. the search pattern has 18 modules. Spaces and bars arr repre-
sented in 8 different module widths, i.e. the elements can have widths ranging from 1X to 8X. Cannot be read
omnidirectionally and has no application identifier.
9.5.12. RSS-14 Omnidirectional
RSS-14 provides the basic structure for the extended UCC/EAN system. Application identifier “01” and a 14
digit article number can be encoded with RSS-14. All RSS-14 codes have a link flag. If the flag is set to 1, a
composite code is involved. Two codes have to be read in this case. RSS-14 consists of 94 modules subdivided
into 46 elements. The code words consist of 15 or16 modules and are represented with 4 spaces and 4 bars.
the search pattern has 14 modules. Spaces and bars are represented in 8 different module widths, i.e. the ele-
ments can have widths ranging from 1X to 8X.
