RSS Limited
The RSS Limited was developed for identification of small products. The 14
digit EAN article identification can be coded. The RSS Limited codes the 14
digit EAN identification without the data identifier (DB) “01”. Only a 14 digit
EAN with a “0” or a “1” at the first position from left (indicator) can be used.
The RSS Limited can’t be used for EAN number structures with an identicator
greater than 1, but a code from the RSS 14 has to be used. A RSS Limited
symbol contains two data and and one check character, which is calculated
with modulo 89. The left and right border character of the symbol consists of
a small bar and a small gap. The RSS Limited needs no quiet zone.
The RSS-14 Limited was developed for low quantity units and isn’t readable
omni directional.The dimensions are 74X in width and 69X in height, starting
with a 1X wide gap and ending with a 1X wide bar, and 10X in height. X cor-
respond to the width of a module.

RSS Expanded
The RSS Expanded family can encode all data elements of the EAN128 data
identifier standard.
The RSS Expanded and RSS Expanded Stacked allowes to encode up to 74
numeric or 41 alphanumeric characters. These symbols support a special
concatenation character, which indicates that a 2D composite component is
present. The RSS Expanded symbols can be read omni directional. The RSS
Expanded has 2 mutations: with stacked and not stacked symbols.
RSS Expanded symbols contain a check character and has dependant from
symbol length, 3 to 21 data characters and 2 to 11 search patterns. The value
of the check character is calculated with a modulo 211 algorithm. The left and
the right border character of the symbol consist of a small bar and a small
gap. RSS Expanded needs no quiet zone. RSS Expanded symbols can be
scanned and decoded in 11 segments, which are adjacent composed again.
Thus the omni directional scanning is enabled.
