Chapter 12 123Scan
Introduction
123Scan is a Windows ® -based utility that programs the digital scanner with all parameters including Advanced
Data Formatting (ADF) rules. An ADF rule modifies bar code data before it transmits to the host, ensuring
compatibility between bar code data and the host application without having to modify the host software. You can
program digital scanners via PC download or by scanning a sheet of bar codes generated by 123Scan. Save digital
scanner programming in a file for electronic distribution. 123Scan includes a help file.
