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 spe-
cific label characteristics can be supported.
