ADF Barcode Menu Example
This section provides an example of how ADF rules are entered and used for scan data.
An auto parts distribution center wants to encode manufacturer ID, part number, and
destination code into their own Code 128 barcodes. The distribution center also has
products that carry UPC barcodes, placed there by the manufacturer. The Code 128 bar-
codes have the following format:
MMMMMPPPPPDD
The distribution center uses a PC with dedicated control characters for manufacturer ID
<CTRL M>, part number <CTRL P>, and destination code <CTRL D>. At this center
the UPC data is treated as manufacturer ID code.
The following rules need to be entered:
• When scanning data of code type Code 128, send the next 5 characters, send the
manufacturer ID key <CTRL M>, send the next 5 characters, send the part num-
ber key <CTRL P>, send the next 2 characters, send the destination code key
<CTRL D>.
• When scanning data of code type UPC/EAN, send all data, send the manufacturer
ID key <CTRL M>.
Where: M = Manufacturer ID
P = Part Number
D = Destination Code
