Figure 23. UPS 11 Structure
Quiet Zone
Both ends of the bar code structure require blank quiet zones. The quiet
zones must be at least 0.25 inches wide and completely blank to ensure
accurate reading of the start/stop codes and to prevent adjacent bar codes
from overlapping. Be sure to provide sufficient space on the form for the quiet
zones.
Start/Stop Codes
The start/stop codes identify the leading and trailing end of the bar code. Each
of the UPS 11 subsets uses a unique start code and a common stop code,
both automatically provided by the Code V.
Data Field
UPS 11 is a special case of Code 128 (page 155). This bar code is restricted
to 10 data characters. The first character must be 0 through 9 or A through Z.
The remaining nine digits must be 0 through 9.
Readable Data
The optional readable data field provides a readable interpretation of the bar
code data. It can be printed above or below the bar code symbol.
