MaxiCode
Predominantly used by United Parcel Service to sort mail at high speed, MaxiCode is well suited to
being read quickly and often in any direction. MaxiCode is a fixed-size 2D matrix barcode symbology
having 866 hexagonal elements arranged in 33 rows around a central finder pattern. The size of a
MaxiCode symbol is 1.1 inch by 1.05 inch. A single MaxiCode symbol can encode up to 93 characters
of data and uses five different code sets to encode all 256 ASCII characters. MaxiCode uses three
unique properties when encoding the data: Class of Service, Country Code, and Mode.
Maxicode Example (Postal Code 75074, Country Code 840, Class of Service 003)
MicroPDF417
MicroPDF417 is a multi-row 2D symbology, derived from and closely based on PDF417. It is designed
for applications that need improved area efficiency but without the requirement for PDF417's maximum
data capacity. A limited set of symbols is available, together with a fixed level of error correction for
each symbol size. Module dimensions are user-specified to enable symbol production and reading by a
wide variety of techniques.

smaller amounts of data, such as ID of printed circuit boards and electronics parts, etc.
