GS1 DataBar Expanded
❏ Specify the data of 2 to 255 digits.
❏ ‘()’ is the delimiter for the application identifiers. (printed as the HRI character, but not
encoded.)
❏ Be sure to include all the application identifiers in the data.
❏ When the first data is ‘01’ after deleting application identifiers, left and right parenthesis, and
‘*’ from the specified data, the 14th digit from the next of ‘01’ is checked as a check digit. When
it is not correct, an error occurs.
❏ When the next data of ‘01’ is fewer than 14 digits, a check digit is not checked.
(Unlike GS1-128, the check d
igit is not automatically calculated, nor replaced with ‘*.’ When ‘*’
is specified, ‘*’ is ignored, and the rest of the data is shifted by 1 digit.)
❏ Specify the special character using the following format.
