example, the only valid MaxiCode that is supported should be a single symbol, specified as: 1,1,01234567...... where 1,1, represents the Structured Append; and 01234567.... represents the rest of the MaxiCode data structure. The HP spec BarDIMM specification version 3.0 and later is consistent with - Lexmark X954 | Forms and Bar Code Card Technical Reference Guide - Page 167
, then the Forms and Bar Code Card should print a valid MaxiCode symbol that is empty. Depending on the scanner used, it may not produce a valid scan. If an old-style 3-byte structured append is specified alone, then the Forms and Bar Code Card should throw an error.

letters. The BCE and HP BDP generate a default 3 of 9 bar code that is 79 mm wide. The LXK BCC generates a smaller bar code that is about 63 mm wide. There is no known French Post specification for this bar code other than what exists in the current HP BDP technical reference manual.
