ADF Bar Code Menu Example
This section provides an example of how to enter and use ADF rules for scan data.
An auto parts distribution center wants to encode manufacturer ID, part number, and destination code into their
own Code 128 bar codes. The distribution center also has products that carry UPC bar codes, placed there by the
manufacturer. The Code 128 bar codes have the following format:
MMMMMPPPPPDD
Where:
M = Manufacturer ID
P = Part Number
D = Destination Code
The distribution center uses a PC with dedicated control characters for manufacturer ID
The following rules must be entered:
When scanning data of code type Code 128, send the next 5 characters, send the manufacturer ID key
destination code key
When scanning data of code type UPC/EAN, send all data, send the manufacturer ID key
To enter these rules, see the following steps.
