• For Code 39, Codabar and I 2/5, the modifier indicates Check Digit and Check
Digit Output status.
• For Code 39 only, Full ASCII needs to be enabled to see modifiers 4 , 5 , and 7 .

enabled and Full ASCII conversion performed.

• For Code 128, a 1 indicates EAN; otherwise the modifier is a 0 .

Definition: Symbology ID is an AIM standard prefix set of characters that identify the
symbol type.

adds a three character identifying prefix to the data:
1. ] (close bracket character) indicating the presence of a symbology ID
2. A, C, E, I, L, Q, b, d, p
A = Code 39; C = Code 128 or EAN; E = UPC/EAN; F = Codabar; I =
