Chapter 11 123Scan
Introduction
123Scan is a Windows ® -based utility that programs the scanner with all parameters including Advanced Data
Formatting (ADF) rules. An ADF rule modifies bar code data before it is sent to the host, ensuring compatibility
between bar coded data and the host application without having to modify the host software. Scanners can be
programmed via PC download or by scanning a sheet of bar codes generated by 123Scan. Save scanner
programming in a file for electronic distribution. 123Scan includes a help file.
