GS1 DataBar Limited (Formerly RSS Limited - Reduced Space Symbology) CC-A and CC-B Composite Barcodes - Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
This Symbology is also known as GS1 DataBar
Limited Composite Barcode, GS1 DataBar Limited CC-A (CCA), GS1 DataBar Limited
CC-B (CCB), GS1 DataBar Limited Composite A, GS1 DataBar Limited Composite B,
GS1 DataBar Limited 2D Composite, GS1 DataBar Limited Composite Component A,
GS1 DataBar Limited Composite Component B
This Barcode Symbology is supported by the following
Neodynamic products:
Overview
 In Barcode Composite Symbology,
the linear component encodes the item's primary identification while the
adjacent 2D Composite Component (abbreviated as CC) encodes supplementary data,
such as a batch number and expiration date. The Composite Symbol always
includes a linear component so that the primary identification is readable by
all scanning technologies. The Composite Symbol always includes a multi-row 2D
Composite Component that can be read with linear- and area-CCD scanners, and
with linear and rastering laser scanners. The 2D Composite Component is printed
above the linear component and both are separated by a separator pattern. GS1 DataBar Limited (formerly RSS Limited) Composite Barcode
is an GS1 DataBar Limited linear barcode linked to a 2D barcode called CC-A or
CC-B.

GS1 DataBar Limited can identify small items and carry more information
than the current EAN/UPC barcode. GS1 DataBar enables GTIN identification for
hard-to-mark products like fresh foods, jewelry and do-it-yourself hardware
products and can carry GS1 Application Identifiers (AI) such as serial numbers,
lot numbers, and expiration dates. This creates the opportunity for solutions
supporting product authentication and traceability, product quality and
effectiveness, variable measure product identification, and couponing. GS1
DataBar Limited encodes the Element String AI (01), which is based on the
GTIN-12, GTIN-8, GTIN-13, or GTIN-14 Data Structures, in a linear barcode
symbol for use on small items that will not be scanned in an omnidirectional
scanning environment.
-
The 2D Composite Component that can be liked to GS1 DataBar Limited can
be one of the following depending on the amount of supplementary data to be
encoded:
-
CC-A: it is a variant of MicroPDF417 barcode and the smallest of the 2D
Composite Components which can encode up to 56 digits.
-
CC-B: it is a subset of MicroPDF417 barcode which can encode up to 338
digits. Encoding systems normally automatically select CC-B when the data to be
encoded exceeds the capacity of CC-A.

Note: Please refer to the Class
Reference documentation for more information about the properties and methods
stated in this document.
In order to get GS1 DataBar Limited CC-A and CC-B Composite
Barcode images, please follow these steps:
-
Set the Symbology property to GS1DataBarLimitedCCA or GS1DataBarLimitedCCB
or RssLimitedCCA or RssLimitedCCB
-
Setting up dimensions and quiet zones:
-
Set the BarWidth property to 0.0208 (Value is expressed in
Inches)
-
Set the BarRatio property to 3
-
Set the BarHeight property to 0.2080 (10 * BarWidth) or higher
(Value is expressed in Inches)
-
Set the Code property with the primary and secondary values separated by
| char (See example below).
-
Set the Text property to the Secondary Data which was encoded into the
2D Component

In order to get GS1 DataBar Limited CC-A and CC-B Composite
Barcode images, please follow these steps:
-
Set the Symbology property to GS1DataBarLimitedCCA or GS1DataBarLimitedCCB
or RssLimitedCCA or RssLimitedCCB
-
Setting up dimensions and quiet zones:
All values for barcode dimensions are expressed
in INCHES by default. However, Barcode Professional supports other unit
of measurement such as Millimeter, Centimeter, and Mils.
For modifying the unit of measurement for barcoding, please set up the BarcodeUnit
property as needed.

GS1 DataBar Limited CC-A and CC-B barcode images examples
NOTE: The Primary Data must be a 13-digit value representing a GTIN-14
code excluding AI (01) and last check digit.
Code property = 0361234567890|11990102 (Primary
Data = 0361234567890 and Secondary Data = 11990102), Symbology property
= GS1DataBarLimitedCCA, AddChecksum property = True will
produce the following barcode image:
Code property = 0361234567890|11990102 (Primary
