Barcode Symbology
UPS Compression is found in the MaxiCode Properties box. Note that the options in the drop-down list
are either None or Version 1.If you select None, then no compression takes place.This is the default
setting. If the MaxiCode Template is used, the default is Version1.If you select Version 1, then Loftware
runs the compression tool if possible. Loftware calls the UPS Compression Tool Version 1 as this tool
may be revised by UPS at a future date.
MaxiCode Data Format
Another advantage to using the Version 1 setting is that the same data structure is utilized for all
printers; therefore the same formula works for all the different printer families that Loftware supports.
Use one formula and Loftware takes care of the rest. Loftware's UPS templates are designed using a
formula datasource for the MaxiCode symbol. The formula is constructed so that you can supply your
data as separate, individual fields, using any of the Loftware label printing methods (For example, ODP,
ActiveX). The formula then formats the data into the correct ANSI compliant string (ACS). (More on the
ANSI compliant string follows.) Alternatively, if you are using the LPS, you can change the data source
to “Keyboard” and supply the entire ACS via a PAS, CSV, etc.It is NOT possible to print a MaxiCode
Mode 2 or Mode 3 symbol correctly in On-Demand Print using the Keyboard Data Source, as the non-
printable ASCII characters such as GS, RS and EOT cannot be added in the input screen.
