ADF Formatting Example
This section shows how ADF rules are entered and used for scan
data.
An auto parts distributor 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 personal computer with dedicated
control characters for manufacturer ID [CTRL M], part number
[CTRL P], and destination code [CTRL D]. At the center, the UPC
data is treated as manufacturer ID code.
The following rules need to be entered:
•
When scanning data of code type Code 128, send the next 5
characters, send the manufacturer ID key [CTRL M], send the
next 5 characters, send the part number key [CTRL P], send the
next 2 characters, send the destination code key [CTRL D].
•
When scanning data of code type UPC/EAN, send all data, send
the manufacturer ID key [CTRL M].
