If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828 is scanned, the following is transmitted:
00001299<space>. If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X15598 is scanned, this rule is ignored
because the length criteria has not been met.
The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs.
Using ADF Bar Codes
When you program a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before you
start scanning.
To program each data formatting rule:
• Start the Rule. Scan the Begin New Rule bar code on page 13-7.
• Criteria. Scan the bar codes for all pertinent criteria. Criteria can include code type
(e.g., Code 128), code length, or data that contains a specific character string (e.g.,
the digits “129”). These options are described in Criteria on page 13-12.
• Actions. Scan all actions related to, or affecting, these criteria. The actions of a
rule specify how to format the data for transmission. These options are described
in ADF Bar Code Menu Example on page 13-2.
• Save the Rule. Scan the Save Rule bar code on page 13-8. This places the rule
in the “top” position in the rule buffer.
• If you make errors during this process, some special-purpose bar codes may be
useful: Erase Criteria and Start Again, Erase Actions and Start Again, Erase
Previously Saved Rule, etc.
Criteria, actions, and entire rules may be erased by scanning the appropriate bar code (see
page 13-8).
Scanning in Single-Line Mode on page 2-2 help guide you through the programming steps.
ADF Bar Code Menu Example
This section provides an example of how ADF rules are entered and used 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
