Explanation of Modifiers for Code 39, Codabar, and I–2/5
• 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.
Example: ]A5 indicates a Code 39 symbol with Check Digit and Check Digit Out-
put enabled and Full ASCII conversion performed.
For Other Codes
• For Code 128, a 1 indicates ECC/EAN-128; otherwise the modifier is a 0.

Definition: Symbology ID is an AIM standard prefix set of characters that identify
the symbol type.
When enabled, the reader analyzes and identifies the symbology and
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 UCC/EAN-128; E = UPC/EAN;
I = I–2/5; p = Pharmacode
3. Modifier (see Explanation of Modifiers below)
Usage: Used when the symbology type and how it’s decoded needs to be known.
