Chapter3 Handling 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.) • Specify a special character as described below. 117 Control character ASCII HRI character FNC1 {1 Not printed Beginning parenthesis for an application identifier ( ( is printed. Closing parenthesis for an application identifier ) ) is printed. '*' {* Error Skipped character * Not printed '{' {{ { is printed.
