It consists of bars and spaces of one module (minimum unitconsisting on bars and spaces).2 Check Character This check character is composed with 7 bars and spaces consisting with 18 modules,and it is set between 2 data characters. It is used to check if the read data is corrector not by putting the value calculated with the certain formula on just before the stopcharacter for re-calculation.3 Finder Pattern Functions as a check character or segment identifier, too, which makes symbols to beeasily recognized. It consists of five elements having 15 modules.4 Data Character Has the (n, k) structure. “n” indicates the number of modules and “k” indicates that ofbars and spaces that make up the character. As shown in the figure above, the datacharacter is arranged so as to facing to the adjacent finder pattern (toward the arrowdirection).5 Bar Code Height The minimum value of bar code height is 34 times as high as the module width. For GS1DataBar Expanded Stacked, the minimum value of one step of bar code is 34 times ashigh as the module width.GS1 DataBar Expanded barcode has the additional version show below.GS1 DataBar Expanded StackedGS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked is the multi-tier symbol consisting of GS1 DataBar Expanded content to meet the productswith the narrow marking field.
