Notes:
1) This programming example represents actual data used to
format a single AIM compliant MaxiCode symbol as pro
-
grammed by a major international and domestic shipping com
-
pany.
2) The shipper has explicitly set the MaxiCode symbol for Mode
2. This can be omitted by the programmer and the printer will
auto-select the mode per the rules on page 3-16.
3) The shipper has used the "!" character to pad the symbol's
data. A scanner reads back all the "Data" within the quotation
marks, including the "!" characters following the End Of Mes
-
sage Marker (E
OT
).
4) All of the data fields in the Low Priority Message are not
used in the example. Some are left empty with the field delim
