Chapter 11 123Scan

Introduction

This chapter includes the bar code to scan to use the 123Scan program.
123Scan is a Windows ® based utility that allows programming the scanner with all parameters including Advanced
Data Formatting (ADF) rules. An ADF rule modifies bar code data before it transmits to the host. This ensures
compatibility between bar coded data and the host application; the scanner is programmed rather than modifying
the host software. Program scanners 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. 123Scan includes a help file.
