Structure

The one-dimensional part can be GS1-128 (UCC/EAN-128), EAN/JAN-8, EAN/JAN-13, GS1 DataBar Limited, UPC-A, or any member of the GS1 DataBar and GS1 DataBar Expanded families.

The two- dimensional component is
CC - A: a variant of MicroPDF417
CC - B: a MicroPDF417 symbol with new encoding rules
CC- C: a PDF417 symbol with new encoding rules.It has the greatest data capacity of the composite symbols, encoding up to 2, 361 digits

Density

High-density

Character set

GS1 AI encodable character set 82

Capacity

The one-dimensional component has the full data capacity of the underlying linear symbology. The capacity of the two-dimensional component is 56 characters for CC-A, 338 for CC-B, and 2,361 for CC-C

Error detection

The bottom component has one check digit to detect error data

Error correction

The top component uses Reed-Solomon codewords for error correction.
