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 spe- cific 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 cor- rect.

Prefix must be ASCII characters ']E0'- total length including prefix must be 16.

Example: ']E01101234567891'.

EAN-8

Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be cor- rect.

Prefix must be ASCII characters ']E4' - total length including prefix must be 11.

Example: ']E400210126'.
