Chapter 14 Advanced Data Formatting
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Scan
data can be edited to suit your particular requirements.
Implement ADF by scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on
, or by installing the 123Scan
utility (see
) which allows programming the scanner with ADF rules.
Rules: Criteria Linked to Actions
ADF uses
rules
customize data. These rules perform detailed actions when the data meets certain criteria. One
rule may consist of single or multiple criteria applied to single or multiple actions.
For instance, a data formatting rule could be:
Criteria:
When scan data is Code 39, length 12, and data at the start position is
the string “129”
,
Actions:
pad all sends with zeros to length 8,
send all data up to X
,
send a space.
Scanning a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828 transmits the following: 00001299<space>. If you scan a Code 39
bar code of 1299X15598, this rule is ignored because the bar code doesn’t meet the length criteria.
The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs.
NOTE
If using the Wand interface with the scanner, you can not use ADF rules to format data unless you enable
