In Standard UCC/EAN-128 application identifiers and data fields are sent, but none
of the formatting (separators, parentheses, padding) will be included.
Application Record is a variation of UCC/EAN-128 that allows the user to define sep-
arators between data fields, enclose application identifiers in parentheses, and enable
padding (zeros) for variable length fields.
Note: If an illegal Application Record format is detected, the scanner will process it
as a noread and output a noread message (if enabled).
