Returns or sets a value that determines the encoding mode of Maxicode symbols generated by Morovia Barcode DLL.

Syntax

HRESULT get_MaxicodeMode(HANDLE handle, SHORT* pVal);
HRESULT put_MaxicodeMode(HANDLE handle, SHORT val);

Remarks

Maxicode specification defines 5 encoding modes from 2 to 6. Mode 2 and 3 are reserved for domestic and international carrier messages. Mode 4 and mode 5 both encode generic data. Between the two of them, mode 5 offers slightly better data security. Other Maxicode properties, such as MaxicodeClass, MaxicodeCountryCode, are meaningful only under mode 2 and 3. Mode 6 is designated for reader programming purposes.
