Alternate Rule Sets

ADF rules may be grouped into one of four alternate sets which can be turned on and off when needed. This is
useful to format the same message in different ways. For example, a Code 128 bar code contains the following
information:

Class (2 digits), Stock Number (8) digits, Price (5 digits)

This bar code might look like this:

245671243701500

where:

Class = 24

Stock Number = 56712437

Price = 01500

Ordinarily, data is sent as follows:

24 (class key)

56712437 (stock key)

01500 (enter key)
