7.2.1.3 AI (Application Identifier) Extraction
When the scanned code is a GS1-128, GS1 DataBar, or GS1 Composite (excludes linear components of UPC/EAN
Composite) code, the scanner edits the data using AI (Application Identifier) and outputs scanned data in the data
transmission format (refer to
) selected in the scanner in accordance with the specified parameters.
Two types of AI extraction are available: AI delimited mode and AI parenthesis mode. For the AI used in data editing, refer to
(3) AI Table that follows below.
(1) AI Delimited Mode
The scanner extracts the data using the specified AI (maximum of three types) and replaces the AI with specified delimiters
(selected from three types: header/terminator, comma, tab) for output.
Parameters
Parameters
Value
Transmit data regardless of the results
Enabled/Disabled
When “Transmit data regardless of the results” is enabled, the scanned data will be output without editing if AI extraction
fails.
Delimiters
Header/Terminator
The scanner adds headers and terminators to each split string and outputs the data.
The scanner ID, code mark, number of digits, prefix and suffix are added to each split data if enabled for output.
The total number of digits output will be the number of digits post edit.
Example: Scanned data: “(01)94901234567894(11)030808(13)030810” Header: STX, Terminator: ETX, Scanner ID:
Prohibited, Code mark: Disabled, The number of digits: Disabled, Prefix/Suffix transmission: Not specified, BCC
transmission: Disabled

Comma
The scanner outputs split strings delimited by commas. No comma is added to the last item of split data.
A header and terminator are added to each item of split data. The scanner ID, code mark, number of digits, prefix and
suffix are not output, regardless of whether output is enabled or disabled.
Example: Scanned data: “(01)94901234567894(11)030808(13)030810” Header: STX, Terminator: ETX, Scanner ID:
Prohibited, Code mark: Disabled, The number of digits: Disabled, Prefix/Suffix transmission: Not specified, BCC

Tab (ASCII code 09H<HT>)
The scanner outputs split strings delimited by tabs. No tab is added to the last item of split data.
A header and terminator are added to each item of split data. The scanner ID, code mark, number of digits, prefix and
suffix are not output, regardless of whether output is enabled or disabled.
Example: Scanned data: “(01)94901234567894(11)030808(13)030810” Header: STX, Terminator: ETX, Scanner ID:
