Introduction

123Scan is a Windows

®

-based utility that programs the scanner with all parameters including ADF rules. An ADF

rule modifies bar code data before it is sent to the host to ensure compatibility between bar coded data and the
host application. Scanners can be programmed via PC download or by scanning a sheet of bar codes generated
by the utility. Scanner programming is saved in a file for electronic distribution. The 123Scan program includes a
help file.
