AIM Code Identifiers

Each AIM Code Identifier contains the three-character string ]cm where:
]    =    Flag Character (ASCII 93)
c    =    Code Character (see table below)
m    =    Modifier Character (see table below)

PDF417, Micro PDF417
0
Reader set to conform to protocol defined in 1994 PDF417 symbology specifications. Note: When this option is transmitted, the receiver cannot reliably determine whether ECIs have been invoked or whether data byte 92DEC has been doubled in transmission.
1
Reader set to follow the ECI protocol (Extended Channel Interpretation). All data characters 92DEC are doubled.
2
Reader set for Basic Channel operation (no escape character transmission protocol). Data characters 92DEC are not doubled. Note: When decoders are set to this mode, unbuffered Macro symbols and symbols requiring the decoder to convey ECI escape sequences cannot be transmitted.
3
The barcode contains a GS1-128 symbol, and the first codeword is 903-907, 912, 914, 915.
4
The barcode contains a GS1-128 symbol, and the first codeword is in the range 908-909.
5
The barcode contains a GS1-128 symbol, and the first codeword is in the range 910-911.
Example: A PDF417 barcode ABCD, with no transmission protocol enabled, is transmitted as ]L2ABCD.
