AIM Formats

AIM specifies a 3-character string that is attached as a prefix to the label data for transmission. Because AIM speci-
fies 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.

ted as EAN-13.

ted as EAN-13.
