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 transmis-
sion format - labels will be transmitted as EAN-13.
• Example: ']E00060992011187'.
UPC-E
• AIM does not specify UPC-E as a separate symbology using this transmis-
sion 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 prefix 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' - to
tal length including prefix must be
11.
• Example: ']E400210126'.
