Notes:
1) This pro gramming ex ample rep resents actual data used to
format a sin gle AIM compliant MaxiCode sym bol as pro -
grammed by a major in ternational and domestic shipping com-
pany.
2) The shipper has explicitly set the MaxiCode sym bol for
Mode 2. This can be omitted by the programmer and the
printer will auto-select the mode per the rules on page 3-25.
3) The shipper has used the “ !” char acter to pad the symbol’s
data. A scanner reads back all the “Data” within the quo tation
marks, in cluding the “ !” char acters fol lowing the End Of Mes-
sage Marker ( E
OT
).
4) All of the data fields in the Low Pri ority Message are not
used in the example. Some are left empty with the field de lim-
it ing

char acter used as a format field holder.
