NeoMedia's Product Support

MaxiCode Encoder

NeoMedia's MaxiCode Encoder creates MaxiCode symbols in the print stream of choice, ranging from PC to midrange and mainframe platforms. MaxiCode is the two-dimensional barcode standard used by the United Parcel Service (UPS).

MaxiCode is a two-dimensional symbology which can encode about 100 characters of data in an area of one square inch. Within this small space are two MaxiCode components: black and white hexagons that pack information in two directions, and a target-like central pattern that allows the symbol to be easily located at high speeds. One of MaxiCode's key features is that it can be located and read at high speeds in a large field of view. As a result, it has been adopted as the standard symbology for high-speed sortation by the United Parcel Service (UPS).

 

The MaxiCode product offering from NeoMedia encompasses mainframe and mid-range platform drivers for printing MaxiCode barcodes. Many high-speed printers are supported, including most IBM, Xerox, and Hewlett-Packard page printers.
