Chapter 3 Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing, or editing, the data scanned by the scanner before transmitting the data to your host device. Scanned data can be edited to suit your particular requirements. ADF is implemented by scanning a related series of bar codes to create rules to apply to the scanned data. These bar codes appear later in this chapter. Rules: Criteria Linked to Actions In ADF, data is customized through rules.
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide Using ADF Bar Codes When you program a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before you start scanning. To program each data formatting rule: 1. Start the Rule. Scan the Begin New Rule bar code on page 3-11. 2. 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”).
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) ADF Bar Code Menu Example This section provides an example of how to enter an ADF rule to apply to scanned 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, placed there by the manufacturer.
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide Rule 1: The Code 128 Scanning Rule Table 3-1.
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Alternate Rule Sets ADF rules may be grouped into one of five alternate sets that can be turned on and off when needed. This is useful when you want to format the same message in different ways.
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide in the case of the “sale” rule above, the rule programmer wants the cashier to scan the bar code “M” before a sale. To do this, a rule can be entered as follows: When scanning a bar code of length 1 that begins with “M”, select rule set number 1. Another rule could be programmed to switch back. When scanning a bar code of length 1 that begins with “N”, turn off rule set number 1. The switching back to normal rules can also be done in the “sale” rule.
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) If a Code 128 bar code of length 12 were scanned, the THIRD rule would be in effect. The SECOND rule would appear to not function. Note also that ADF rules are actually created when you use the standard data editing functions. Scan options are entered as ADF rules, and the hierarchy mentioned above also applies to them. For the P 300, this applies to prefix/suffix programming in the parameter Scan Data Transmission Format.
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide Beeper Definitions for ADF The following table defines beep sequences that occur during rule entry. Table 3-3. Beeper Definitions Beeper Sequence Indication Normal Data Entry. Duration of tones are short. High-Low Entry of a number is expected. Enter another digit. Add leading zeros to the front if necessary. Low-Low Entry of an alphabetic character is expected. Enter another character or scan the End of Message bar code.

P 300STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide D-8
Glossary APERTURE The opening in an optical system defined by a lens or baffle that establishes the field of view. ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit-plus-parity code representing 128 letters, numerals, punctuation marks, and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S. ASYMMETRIC WIDTH GROWTH Non-uniform growth of elements in a printed symbol.
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide BAR CODE DENSITY The number of characters represented per unit of measurement (e.g., characters per inch in one-dimensional symbologies, characters per square inch in PDF417). BAR HEIGHT The dimension of a bar measured perpendicular to the bar width. BAR WIDTH Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge of the same bar.
Glossary CHARACTER SET Those characters available for encodation in a particular bar code symbology. CHECK DIGIT A digit used to verify a correct symbol decode. The scanner inserts the decoded data into an arithmetic formula and checks that the resulting number matches the encoded check digit. Check digits are required for UPC and Code 128 but are optional for other symbologies. Using check digits decreases the chance of substitution errors when a symbol is decoded.
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide CONTINUOUS CODE A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in a continuous code. The absence of gaps allows for greater information density. COUNTRY FLAG In EAN-8 and EAN-13 codes, two or three digits which appear immediately following the left guard bar pattern. DEAD ZONE An area within a scanner's field of view, in which specular reflection may prevent a successful decode.
Glossary ENCODED AREA Total linear dimension occupied by all characters of a code pattern, including start/stop characters and data. ERROR CORRECTION In addition to error detection, the recovery capability of PDF417 over missing, destroyed, or misdecoded codewords. Error correction capability is based on the level of security (0 - 8) selected when the PDF417 label is printed. EXTRANEOUS INK Ink in a scan area not intended to be there (i.e., tracking and splatter).
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide LASER An acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. The laser is an intense light source. Light from a laser is all the same frequency, unlike the output of an incandescent bulb. Laser light is typically coherent and has a high energy density. LASER SPOT SIZE The diameter of the spot of laser light scanning the bar code, as measured at a given distance from the bar code.
Glossary NOMINAL SIZE Standard size for a bar code symbol. Most UPC/EAN codes can be used over a range of magnifications (e.g., from 0.80 to 2.00 of nominal). NUMBER SYSTEM CHARACTER In the UPC/EAN code used in a retail application, the mandatory, first encoded character, after the left guard bars. The corresponding human readable character identifies the coded character and appears at the bottom left-hand margin of the symbol.
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide PDF417 A two-dimensional, or stacked, bar code symbology which can encode over one kilobyte of data per label and which represents data in the form of codewords (values 0 - 928). Each codeword consists of four bars and four spaces, for a total of 17 module widths; modules vary in width from one to six element widths. The symbology permits encoding up to 30 data columns and from 3 to 90 data rows.
Glossary RESOLUTION The narrowest element dimension which can be distinguished by a particular reading device or printed with a particular device or method. ROW INDICATORS To help synchronize a PDF417 symbol’s structure, codewords which collectively indicate which row a particular one is, which is the left and right side of that row, how many rows are in the symbol, what security level is encoded in the symbol, and how many data columns are in the rows.
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide START/STOP CHARACTER A pattern of bars and spaces that provides the scanner with start and stop reading instructions and scanning direction. The start and stop characters are the first and last encoded characters of a bar code. SUBSTRATE A foundation material on which a substance or image is placed. SUBSTRATE SCATTERING Optical phenomenon which causes bars to appear larger and spaces narrower than they are actually printed.
Glossary VISIBLE LASER DIODE (VLD) A solid state device which produces visible laser light. Laser light emitted from the diode has a wavelength of 670 to 680 nanometers. VOID Absence of ink within printed bars. X-DIMENSION Width of the narrowest element (bar of space) in a bar code symbol. Y-DIMENSION Element height, as applied to a two-dimensional symbology, which must equal or exceed a required minimum. ZERO-SUPPRESSED CODE A version of UPC/EAN which reduces the number of characters in the code.
