LIST OF MAXICODE INFORMATION FIELDS
The different fields are separated with the
<Gs>
(Group Separator, ASCII 29, HEX 1D).
The barcode data terminates with the
<Eot>
(End of transmission, ASCII 04, HEX 04).
To separate format types, use
<Rs>
(Field separator, ASCII 30, HEX 1E).
To separate primary and secondary address numbers, use
<Fs>
(Address field separator,
ASCII 28, HEX 1C). BarDIMM expects to get both the primary and secondary messages
from the application, separated by a comma.
The primary message data is composed of:
1.
the label number (maximum: 8)
2.
the number of labels for the shipment (maximum: 8)
3.
the MaxiCode mode. Use 2 for domestic US shipments, 3 for international shipments
4.
the postal code
5.
the country code
6.
the class of service
A comma must separate all those parameters
The secondary message is composed of:
1.
the ANSI Message Header
[ )>
<Rs>
2.
the Transportation Data Format Header
01
<Gs>
96

(ie: 1Z00004951

Note:
UPS MaxiCode expects the secondary message to be padded with fill characters to a
total of 84 total characters. BarDIMM takes care of that requirement and there is no need
to pad the data on the right (the fill character is ‘!’ ASCII 33, HEX 21).
