rules to automatically format the “DATA” parameter. If
the postal code (third parameter, PC) in the “DATA” is:
•All numeric characters, the printer will automatically
select Mode 2.
•Alpha only or alpha-numeric character combinations
will set the printer to Mode 3.
•Not used, the printer automatically selects Mode 3.
2. If p4 value is “m2orm3”, the printerwill use the following
rules to format the “Data” parameter:
•In Mode 2 - If a non-numeric character is entered in the
Postal Code “Data” parameter field, then the
MaxiCode bar code will not print.
•In Mode 3 – If the Postal Code “Data” field exceed 6
characters, then the additional characters will be
truncated from the bar code field.
