Mode (MaxiCode)

MaxiCode consists of a bull's-eye type pattern of three concentric black circles in the center and 33 alternating rows of either 29 or 30 hexagon-shaped elements per row. It can support up to a maximum of 93 characters of data. Four different data modes are available. Modes 2 and 3 must have specific formatting to work properly, whereas modes 4 and 6 can contain any type of information.

Mode 2: Structured Carrier Message: Used for United Parcel Service (UPS) domestic shipping. The primary message fields are required for this mode to function properly.

All fields that have proper formatting can be generated automatically by BarTender as separate data sources by clicking MaxiCode Data Source Wizard on the Symbology and Size property page.
Mode 3: Structured Carrier Message: Used for UPS international shipping. The primary message fields are required for this mode to function properly. The secondary message fields are optional. All fields that have proper formatting can be generated automatically by BarTender as separate data sources by clicking MaxiCode Data Source Wizard on the Symbology and Size property page.
Mode 4: Standard Symbol: Used to generate free-form, general-use barcodes. This mode does not require any primary or secondary message fields.
