Bar Codes – 5
The Bar Codes – 5 Parameter Programming Mode contains programming parameters for GS1 DataBar bar codes. GS1 DataBar, formerly Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) permits more data to be recorded in a smaller physical space. This is accomplished by encoding the data in large symbol characters rather than encoding each data character separately. Also, no quiet zone is required around the symbols. The NCR 7879 can read four types of GS1 DataBar bar codes. The default values are shown in the Red boxes and also in the Parameter Defaults section earlier in this chapter.
GS1 DataBar-14
GS1 DataBar-14 is a linear symbology that encodes 14 UCC/EAN digits. This structure provides four segments that can be scanned and decoded separately, then reconstructed. The total symbol contains 96 modules combined into 46 elements (bars and spaces).
GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked
GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked is a 2-row format. The bottom row is higher than the top row and the two are separated with a separator pattern. The stacked format is used when not enough linear space is available. An example use is marking produce in a grocery store.
GS1 DataBar-Expanded
GS1 DataBar-Expanded is a variable length linear symbology. It can encode 74 numeric or 41 alpha characters. GS1 DataBar-Expanded can be scanned and decoded in up to 22 segments and then reconstructed
GS1 DataBar-Expanded Stacked
GS1 DataBar-Expanded Stacked is similar to GS1 DataBar-14 Stacked except it uses the GS1 DataBar-Expanded format for creating the symbol.
GS1 DataBar Enable
This parameter contains 4 selections.
•Disable reading GS1 DataBar bar codes – Scan the Hex 0 programming tag.
•Read GS1 DataBar-14 only – Scan the Hex 1 programming tag
•Read GS1 DataBar-E only – Scan the Hex 2 programming tag
•Read both GS1 DataBar-14 and GS1 DataBar-E – Scan the Hex 3 programming tag
Scans Required on GS1 DataBar-14
This parameter sets the number of scans required to read a GS1 DataBar-14 bar code. Increasing the number of scans can improve reading nominal bar codes. There are four settings: 1 scan, 2 scans, 3 scans, and 4 scans. Set this parameter by scanning the appropriate programming tag, Hex 1 through Hex 4.
Scans Required on GS1 DataBar-E
This parameter sets the number of scans required to read a GS1 DataBar-E bar code. Increasing the number of scans can improve reading nominal bar codes. There are four settings: 1 scan, 2 scans, 3 scans, and 4 scans. Set this parameter by scanning the appropriate programming tag, Hex 1 through Hex 4.
UCC-128 Emulation Mode
The UCC-128 Emulation Mode refers to the Uniform Code Council Code 128 Data Formatted Start Code. Two choices are available for this parameter. Scan the Hex 0 programming tag for normal mode or the Hex 1 programming tag to enable UCC-128 Emulation.
Additional Functions

GS1 DataBar Expanded Application Identifier
There are situations where it may be desirable to disable certain DataBar Expanded Application Identifiers (AI) while enabling others. This may be due to the system software not being capable of handling certain DataBar Expanded tag data. Following are examples of such scenarios and how the scanner can be programmed to enable or disable the scanning of specific DataBar AIs.
Enable DataBar Expanded 8110 and Disable All Others
Assume the host terminal software is only capable of handling DataBar with AI of 8110 (coupons). To enable the scanning of DataBar AI 8110 but disable all other DataBar AIs, use the following programming.
