E–4 Advanced Data Formatting
Publication 2755-6.4
Programming a Rule
When programming a rule, the rule must follow a specific format.
Plan ahead before you start scanning.
To program each data formatting rule:
• Start the Rule. Scan the Start New Rule bar code.
• Criteria. Scan the bar codes for all pertinent criteria.
Criteria can include code type (e.g., Code 128), code length, or
data that contains a specific character string (e.g., the digits 129).
These options are described in the Criteria section.
• Actions. Scan all actions related to, or affecting, these criteria.
The actions of a rule specify how to format the data for
transmission. These options are describe in the Actions section.
• Save the Rule. Scan the Save Rule bar code. This places the rule
in the top position in the rule buffer.
• If you make errors during this process, the following bar codes
may be use useful:
– Erase Criteria and Start Again
– Erase Actions and Start Again
– Erase Previously Saved Rule
The table on pages E–13 and E–14 provides beeper indications to
help guide you through the programming steps.
