Glossary Item Box

Application Identifiers encode meaning for the data that immediately follows in the encoding. Commonly, this includes dates, size, items contained, and destinations. Some AI numbers include an "x" or "y" following the numerical data. These special characters indicate that you must append a single digit Signifier.

The Signifier uses the following scheme for x and y:
  • x — You must indicate the length of the data field, according to the "Length of Data" column.
  • y — You must indicate where to place the decimal point in the encoded information. For example, if you are specifying ten and a half feet, the Signifier is 2 for "10.50".

NOTE: For usage requirements, refer to the barcode format information in Symbologies.
