AIM Formats

AIM specifies a 3-character string that is attached as a prefix to the label data for transmission. Because AIM specifies one identifier for UPC-A, UPC-E and EAN-13 labels, UPC-A, UPC-E and EAN-13 will be received from the handheld and transmitted by the scanner as EAN-13. The ']' character must be the first character received in the label transmission from the handheld.

The following sections describe the prefix strings and identify what specific label characteristics can be supported.

UPC-A

•AIM does not specify UPC-A as a separate symbology using this transmission format - labels will be transmitted as EAN-13.

•Example: ']E00060992011187'.

UPC-E

•AIM does not specify UPC-E as a separate symbology using this transmission format - labels will be transmitted as EAN-13.

•Example: ']E00000000998875'.

EAN-13

•Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct.

•Prefix must be ASCII characters ']E0'- total length including pre- fix must be 16.•Example: ']E01101234567891'.

EAN-8

•Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct.

•Prefix must be ASCII characters ']E4' - total length including pre- fix must be 11.

•Example: ']E400210126'.
