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 the particular requirements.
ADF can be implemented through scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on
, or by
installing the 123Scan utility (see
) which allows the scanner to be setup and programmed
with Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules.
Rules: Criteria Linked to Actions
In ADF, data is customized through
rules
. 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 the following:
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.
If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828 is scanned, the following is transmitted: 00001299<space>. If a Code 39
bar code of 1299X15598 is scanned, this rule is ignored because the length criteria has not been met.
The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs.
NOTE
If the Wand Emulation interface is being used with the scanner, it is not possible to use ADF rules to
format the data unless convert all Bar Codes to Code 39 is enabled on
.
