3.3.4 MaxiCode

MaxiCode is a matrix code developed by UPS. The content of the useful data
is optimised for the information of the dispatch system and is primarily used in
that area. Different information that is of relevance to shipment is specified
(such as address components, weight etc.).
In contrast to the other 2D codes supported, the size of the individual modules
as well as that of the complete MaxiCode symbol is fixed, i.e. they cannot be
modified by the user. The dimensions of the complete symbol are specified as
25.4 mm x 25.4 mm. In contrast to the other 2D codes described, the printed
modules comprise hexagons and there are circles at the centre (see figure
below) that enable the reading device to locate it more rapidly. MaxiCode
contains code words for the automatic correction of errors.
All 256 ASCII characters can be coded as useful data.
There is a standard, however, by which the useful data are divided into
primary and secondary information.
