^BD
UPS MaxiCode Bar Code
Description: The ^BD command creates a two-dimensional, optically read (not
scanned) code. This symbology was developed by UPS (United Parcel Service).
The code is generated from the information in the ^FD statement which is described
below. Notice that there are no additional parameters for this code and it does not
generate an interpretation line. The ^BY command has no affect on the UPS
MaxiCode Bar Code. However, the ^CV command does work.
