3-33 GS1 Composite
GS1 Composite symbol group consists of two components: a linear component, which encodes the
item’s primary data; and an adjacent 2D composite component, which contains supplementary data.
The linear component will be a traditional symbol of types: GS-128, EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, UPC-E or
DataBar.
The composite component will be either a CC-A (encoding up to 56 digits), a CC-B (up to 338 digits) or a
CC-C (up to 2361 digits).
GS1 composite version enabled:
Note 1- While this feature is enabled, the decode speed will be dropped. The more versions are
enabled, the more obvious influence.
Note 2- If the corresponding linear 1D barcode symbol is set disable, only 2D composite data
will be output after a success decode.
Note 3- While this feature is set disable, if the corresponding linear 1D barcode symbol is set
enable, only 1D data will be output after a success decode.
Note 4- For UPC/EAN Composite, if 2D composite component is failed to decode and 1D linear
component is successful to decode, then only 1D data will be output.
Note 5- If both GS-128 and DataBar Composite are set Enable, both 1D and 2D components
