GS1 DataBar Expanded • Specify a character string of 2 to 255 digits. • The delimiter of the application identifier is separated by “()” (parenthesis). (Although printed as HRI characters, they are not encoded.) • Be sure to include all application identifiers in the character string. • If the first data is 01 after deleting the application identifier, left and right parenthesis, and ‘*’ from the specified data, checking is performed using the 14th digit counting from the digit following 01 as the check digit. An error occurs if not correct. • If the data counting the digit following 01 is less than 14 digits, the check digit is not checked.
(Different than the case of GS1-128 in that the check digit is not automatically calculated and added due to ‘*’. If ‘*’ is specified, ‘*’ is ignored and the following data is shifted by one digit each.) • Specify special characters according to the following formats. PDF417 • Automatic calculation is performed if the number of digits and rows is 0 (zero). • If anything other than 0 (zero) is specified, specify so that the product of the number of digits and rows is 928 or less. QRCode • The size is determined according to the specified version. If not embedded in the specified version, it is automatically changed to the embedded version.
