**Inheritance:**
java.lang.Object, java.lang.Enum
```
public enum MacroCharacter extends Enum<MacroCharacter>
```

Macro Characters 05 and 06 values are used to obtain more compact encoding in special modes. 05 Macro craracter is translated to "[)>05" as decoded data header and "" as decoded data trailer. 06 Macro craracter is translated to "[)>06" as decoded data header and "" as decoded data trailer.

```
hese samples show how to encode Macro Characters in MicroPdf417 and DataMatrix
 

 //to generate autoidentified GS1 message like this "(10)123ABC(10)123ABC" in ISO 15434 format you need:
 BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.DATA_MATRIX, "10123ABC10123ABC");
 generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getDataMatrix().setMacroCharacters(MacroCharacter.MACRO_05);
 BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(generator.generateBarCodeImage(), DecodeType.GS1DataMatrix);
 for (BarCodeResult result : reader.readBarCodes())
     System.out.println("BarCode CodeText: " + result.getCodeText());

 //Encodes MicroPdf417 with 05 Macro the string: "[)>05abcde1234"
 BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.MicroPdf417, "abcde1234");
 generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getPdf417().setMacroCharacters(MacroCharacter.MACRO_05);
 BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(generator.generateBarCodeImage(), DecodeType.MICRO_PDF_417);
 for(BarCodeResult result : reader.readBarCodes())
    System.out.println(result.getCodeText());

 //Encodes MicroPdf417 with 06 Macro the string: "[)>06abcde1234"
 BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.MicroPdf417, "abcde1234");
 generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getPdf417().setMacroCharacters(MacroCharacter.MACRO_06);
 BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(generator.generateBarCodeImage(), DecodeType.MICRO_PDF_417);
 for(BarCodeResult result : reader.readBarCodes())
    System.out.println(result.getCodeText());
```
