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
