Advanced Data Formatting (ADF)

Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) - Scan one bar code per trigger pull
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data from before transmission to the
host device. Use ADF to edit scan data to suit your host's requirements. With ADF you scan one bar
code per trigger pull. ADF is programmed using 123Scan.
For an ADF tutorial and a 123Scan programming example, go to the 123Scan section of our How To
Videos:

For additional information, refer to the "Advanced Data Formatting" Programmer Guide.
"Advanced Data Formatting" programmer Guide, p/n 72E-69680-xx - provides information on ADF, a
means of customizing data before transmission to a host.

Multicode Data Formatting (MDF)

Multicode Data Formatting (MDF) - Scan many bar codes in one trigger pull
Multicode Data Formatting (MDF) enables a 2D imaging scanner to scan all bar codes on a label with
a single trigger pull, and then modify and transmit the data to meet host application requirements.
MDF supports programming up to nine unique labels into one scanner. MDF also supports scanning
multiple bar codes on opposite sides of a box by holding the trigger.
Programming options include:
Output all or specific bar codes
-
Control the bar code output sequence
-
Apply unique multicode data formatting (MDF) to each output bar code
-
Discard scanned data if all required bar codes are not present
-

For more information, refer to the "Multicode Data Formatting and Preferred Symbol" User Guide.
"Multicode Data Formatting and Preferred Symbol", p/n MN-002895-xx - provides information on multi
code, data formatting, rules and preferred symbol prioritization.
Programming Options
Using 123Scan, programming an MDF Group is similar to setting an ADF rule. MDF programming is
saved in the 123Scan configuration file.
MDF can be deployed to a fleet of 2D imaging scanners using the Scanner Management Service
(SMS) through a traditional SMS package.
