Element Strings are the building blocks of the GS1 system, combining a GS1 Application Identifier (AI) with its corresponding data field. This structure ensures that barcode data is accurately recognized and processed by your business applications.
The system provides a series of Application Identifiers (AIs) that define the interpretation of data.
BarTag Express has been programmed with the latest set of GS1 element strings or Application Identifiers(AI).
