GS1 DataBar™ 2010 Sunrise:
An Explanation from
a Retailer’s Perspective
A new type of bar code, GS1 DataBar, has been approved for marking trade items in the retail supply chain. GS1, the global retail standards-setting organization formerly known as EAN International and Uniform Code Council, has set
January 1, 2010 as the “sunrise” mandate for global adoption of this new bar code type. As of 2010 all manufacturers, worldwide, will have the option of marking their packages with GS1 DataBar codes –
as an alternative to the EAN/UPC bar codes used today. Retailers must be ready to scan these packages at the point-of-
sale and elsewhere within their logistics systems. This change is a critical step that enables future standards improvements for several important retail applications,
such as coupons and marking of fresh foods.
Benefits of Omni-Directional Imaging Scanning Technology in Retail Point-of-Sale Applications
The omni-directional imaging scanning technology incorporated into the Magellan 1000i and 1400i retail presentation scanners from Datalogic Scanning, takes a "picture" of a bar code label with a digital scan pattern having lines that are one pixel wide. Because of this dense virtual scan line pattern, the Magellan presentation scanners have outstanding speed and first-pass read rates which improve productivity and make it easy to scan in any orientation.

The Growing Success of 2D Technology
Productivity is the key performance indicator of any industry and it is becoming widely accepted that bar code data collection technology is one of the best productivity investments a company can make.
