GS1 Databar, formerly known as Reduced Space Symbology (RSS), is a large family of barcodes that encode a GTIN-12 or GTIN-13 data structure within a 14-digit barcode. The various GS1 Databar symbols have specific features that allow them to be read by different types of scanners. They are used in a variety of industries, including retail point-of-sale applications, inventory tracking, and healthcare.
