Chapter 11 123Scan

Introduction

This chapter includes the bar code you must scan to use the 123Scan program.
123Scan is a Windows ® based utility that allows the scanner to be setup and programmed with all parameters
including Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules. An ADF rule allows bar code data to be modified before it is sent
on to the host. This ensures compatibility between bar coded data and the host application; the scanner is
programmed rather than modifying the host software. Scanners can be programmed via PC download or by
scanning a sheet of bar codes generated by the utility. Scanner programming is saved in a file that can be
distributed electronically by e-mail. A help file is built into the program 123Scan.
