GS1 DataBar Limited Barcode

The DataBarLimited barcode option is specified in IDAutomation's Barcode Fonts, Components and Applications to create a DataBar Limited Barcode, which encodes the 14 digit GTIN. If less than 14 digits are in the DataToEncode, zeros are appended to the beginning of the data. If additional data needs to be encoded such as an expiration date or serial number, IDAutomation suggests the GS1 DataBar Expanded symbology.
