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 UPCA, UPCE and EAN13 labels,
UPCA, UPCE and EAN13 will be received from the handheld and transmitted by the
scanner as EAN13. 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 UPCA as a separate symbology using this transmission format -
labels will be transmitted as EAN13 (refer to section 8.5.4.3).
• Examples: ‘]E00060992011187’ or ‘]E30060992011187’
UPC-E
• AIM does not specify UPCE as a separate symbology using this transmission format -
labels will be transmitted as EAN13 (refer to section 8.5.4.3)..
• Examples: ‘]E00000000998875’ or ‘]E30000000998875’
EAN13
• Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct.
• Prefix must be ASCII characters ‘]E0’ or ']E3'.
• Total length including prefix must be 16.
• Examples: ‘]E01101234567891’ or ‘]E31101234567891’.
