  • WR-20-000207 – Glossary of Terms General Specifications Background
    GS1 Document Name GS1 Document Type WR # GSCN Name Effective Date 20-232 GS1 Digital Link URI syntax for consumer mobile devices applications Oct 2020 Associated Work Request (WR) Number: WR-20-000207 – Glossary of terms General Specifications Background: The initial GS1 Digital Link Standard was first published in August 2018. Since then, companies have been seeking to pilot and implement the standard. Currently, the use of the GS1 Digital Link URI syntax is not in the GS1 General Specifications, so may not be implemented by those who are able to use it. This work request was submitted to allow the use of GS1 Digital Link where the data carrier will be scanned by a consumer mobile device to support their requirements. This means that GS1 Digital Link URI syntax must be encoded in data carriers that can be scanned or read by mobile devices. GS1 General Specifications Change: Disclaimer: GS1®, under its IP Policy, seeks to avoid uncertainty regarding intellectual property claims by requiring the participants in the Work Group that developed this General Specifications Change Notification to agree to grant to GS1 members a royalty-free licence or a RAND licence to Necessary Claims, as that term is defined in the GS1 IP Policy. Furthermore, attention is drawn to the possibility that an implementation of one or more features of this Specification may be the subject of a patent or other intellectual property right that does not involve a Necessary Claim. Any such patent or other intellectual property right is not subject to the licencing obligations of GS1.

GS1 General Specification Change: The recommended changes are highlighted below, relative to GS1 General Specifications version 19.X. Disclaimer GS1®, under its IP Policy, seeks to avoid uncertainty regarding intellectual property claims by requiring the participants in the Work Group that developed this General Specifications Change Notification to agree to grant to GS1 members a royalty-free licence or a RAND licence to Necessary Claims, as that term is defined in the GS1 IP Policy. Furthermore, attention is drawn to the possibility that an implementation of one or more features of this Specification may be the subject of a patent or other intellectual property right that does not involve a Necessary Claim. Any such patent or other intellectual property right is not subject to the licencing obligations of GS1. Moreover, the agreement to grant licences provided under the GS1 IP Policy does not include IP rights and any claims of third parties who were not participants in the Work Group. Accordingly, GS1 recommends that any organization developing an implementation designed to be in conformance with this Specification should determine whether there are any patents that may encompass a specific implementation that the organisation is developing in compliance with the Specification and whether a licence under a patent or other intellectual property right is needed.

  • GSRN) in GS1 Databar for Point 20-Sep-2017 of Sale Use
    GSMP: General Specifications Change Notification (GSCN) WR # GSCN Name Effective Date 17-000190 Global Service Relation Number (GSRN) in GS1 DataBar for Point 20-Sep-2017 Of Sale use 1 Associated Work Request (WR) Number: 17-000190 2 Background: Migros (major Swiss retailer) is targeting to use the GSRN for loyalty cards that are scanned at POS. GS1’s standards currently do not allow for GSRN to be carried by a symbology that may be used at POS. Therefore, this request is to expand the GS1 data carriers that may carry the GSRN to include GS1 DataBar Expanded and GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked. This change will open the door to further uses of the GS1 DataBar and may spread to other retailers, resulting in broader implementation. Migros supports this work request and will participate in the ID SMG to see to its completion. The GS1 MO AIDC Technical Interest Group has been consulted and there is a common consent to support this WR. 3 2.5 Service relationships 4 Application description 5 The Global Service Relation Number (GSRN) is a non-significant number used to identify the 6 relationship between an organisation offering services and the individual entities providing or 7 benefitting from the services. The GSRN provides unique and unambiguous identification. It is the key 8 to accessing information, stored on computer systems, relevant to service(s) provided and received 9 and in some cases, these services could be recurring. The GSRN may also be used for referencing 10 information transferred via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). 11 When using the GSRN, often two types of relationships may need to be captured in one transaction: 12 1.

    CLNX Accessory / Barcode Validator CLNXCLNX™™ BarcodeBarcode ValidatorValidator Enhancing efficiency and quality assurance of label printing Easily integrates Retracts and voids barcode validation label if barcode cannot with printer operation be validated Key Features Key Benefits • Checks the readability and data of printed 1D • Low cost, affordable validation solution or 2D barcodes • Eliminate chargebacks from unscannable barcode labels • No additional software needed - Plug and Play integration • Ensure correct data printed by enacting an audit plan • Log files for archiving and quality assurance audits www.satoamerica.com/CLNX www.satoamerica.com GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS / Barcode Validator SATO’s Barcode Validator for the CLNX™ Series printer offers an affordable solution that allows users to check the accuracy of printed 1D and 2D barcode symbologies. The Barcode Validator provides customers with reliable results needed to comply with quality assurance standards or mandated compliance requirements. Simple configuration makes it easy to setup and offers seamless printing operation when integrated to SATO’s CL4NX™/CL6NX™ printers. The Barcode Validator solution ensures the integrity of barcode data regardless whether using printer emulation languages or even if printed out as a graphic image, such as printing from Windows applications. To reduce the risk of applying poor quality labels, the Barcode Validator has an overstrike feature to retract and void the label if the barcode does not scan. It can be configured to automatically reprint the label or stop printer operation altogether, thus reducing label waste due to printing issues. For companies who have labeling mandates, you can use the built-in logging option to capture printed label information and create an audit file that can be uploaded to host systems for archiving purposes.
