NOTE
This feature enables/disables addition of AIM IDs for all symbology

identifiers) can be included with scanned bar code data. AIM label identifiers consist of three 
characters as follows:
• A close brace character (ASCII ‘]’), followed by...
• A code character (see the table below), followed by...
• A modifier character (the modifier charac
ter is symbol dependent).
