U: UPS MaxiCode, Modes 2 & 3 with Byte Count Specifier
Specified Length – The upper case U identifies a UPS MaxiCode bar code with a 4-digit string length
specifier. This allows values 0x00 through 0xFF to be included within the data strings without
conflicting with the DPL format record terminators. The four-digit decimal data
byte count
immediately follows the 4-digit column position field. This value includes all of the data following
the byte count field, but does not include itself.

From the example above, the bar code’s data stream,
1U00000010001000051327895555840666this
package<0x0D>is going to Datamax, now includes a Byte Count
Specifier (the portion in bold), where 0051 equals the four-digit decimal data
byte count and includes all bytes that follow until the end of the bar code
data. Field termination is set by the byte count. <STX>, <CR>, and <0x0D>
all represent single byte values of hexadecimal 02, 0D, and 0D, respectively.
The UPS MaxiCode bar code produced encodes “327895555840666this
package<CR>is going to Datamax”, and prints a line of text: Barcode U.
