GS1 DataBar Expanded
• Specify a character string of 2 to 255 digits.
• The delimiter of the application identifier is separated by “()” (parenthesis). (Although printed
as HRI characters, they are not encoded.)
• Be sure to include all application identifiers in the character string.
• If the first data is 01 after deleting the application identifier, left and right parenthesis, and ‘*’
from the specified data, checking is performed using the 14th digit counting from the digit
following 01 as the check digit. An error occurs if not correct.
• If the data counting the digit following 01 is less than 14 digits, the check digit is not checked.
(Different than the case of GS1-128 in that the check digit is not automatically calculated and
added due to ‘*’. If ‘*’ is specified, ‘*’ is ignored and the following data is shifted by one digit
each.)
• Specify special characters according to the following formats.

• Automatic calculation is performed if the number of digits and rows is 0 (zero).
• If anything other than 0 (zero) is specified, specify so that the product of the number of digits
and rows is 928 or less.
