According to AIM standards, a UPC with supplemental bar code is
transmitted in one of the following formats:
]E0
(UPC chars) (terminator)
]E2
(supplemental) (terminator) or
]E2
(supplemental) (terminator)
]E0
(UPC chars) (terminator)
In the 2755-HTG-4, however, this format is changed to:
]E0

]E2
(supplemental)

0012345678905
]E1
