Chapter 11 Advanced Data Formatting

Introduction

Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Use ADF

to edit scan data to suit requirements.

Implement ADF by scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 11-8, or by installing the 123Scan

utility (see Chapter 9, 123Scan) which allows programming the digital imager scanner with ADF rules.

Avoid using ADF formatting with bar codes containing more than 60 characters. To add a prefix or suffix value for

such bar codes, use the Add Prefix/Suffix setting. Using ADF with longer bar codes transmits the bar code in

segments of length 252 or less (depending on the host selected), and applies the rule to each segment.

Rules: Criteria Linked to Actions

ADF uses rules to 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 didn’t meet the length criteria.

The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs.
