ADF Bar Code Menu Example
This section provides an example of how to enter and use ADF rules 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
products that carry UPC bar codes applied by the manufacturer. The Code 128 bar codes
are in the format:

M = Manufacturer ID
P = Part Number
D = Destination Code
The distribution center uses a PC with dedicated control characters for manufacturer ID

key <CTRL M>.
