We have tried to make these label formats as correct as possible according to the

UPS specification titled "Guide To Bar Coding With UPS OnLine For Customers
Generating Bar Code Labels" Version 5. You will need to test print and submit
samples for approval from UPS before using these label formats in production. If
you find mistakes or if the specification changes, please contact us and inform us
of any changes needed and we will make the necessary adjustments to improve the
quality of our sample formats.

This file contains the default field assignment list for the label formats "UPS
Domestic.btw" and "UPS International.btw." These labels are complex and have
several shared and hidden fields. If you are starting a new database it is
recommended you use these field assignments. This will allow you to use these
formats without any changes or adjustments.

To adjust these labels to fit your existing database you will need to use the
"Select All" feature from the Edit menu. You will then see extra "handles" appear
around hidden fields that are only in use some of the time depending on the data
sent. These fields are only in use at the time of print and depend on the UPS data
and codes needed for your UPS shipment.

To aid in seeing all the fields, the sample data file "UPS Label.dat" will allow
the printing of several labels with different field combinations in use. Please
test print with the sample data file first and then make your changes to your
existing database fields. This will allow you to use the output from our sample to
check and compare to your changes. This should help make sure all the necessary
fields have been updated.

Tip: The document "Guide To Bar Coding With UPS OnLine For Customers Generating
Bar Code Labels" Version 5, does not list the UPS 3-digit country codes. The ISO
3166 codes can be found on the World Wide Web at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166

Reminder: Submit your new samples to UPS for approval before using these new
labels in production. This will save time and prevent fines or returns.
