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:
• Start the Rule. Scan the Begin New Rule bar code on page 14-6 .
• 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
Criteria on page 14-9.
• 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 described in ADF Bar Code Menu Example on page 14-3.
• Save the Rule. Scan the Save Rule bar code on page 14-6 . This places the rule in the “top” position in the
rule buffer.
• If you make errors during this process, some special-purpose bar codes may be useful: Erase Criteria And
Start Again bar code on page 14-7 , Erase Actions And Start Again bar code on page 14-7 , Erase Previously
Saved Rule bar code on page 14-7 , etc.
Criteria, actions, and entire rules may be erased by scanning the appropriate bar code (see bar codes beginning
on
page 14-9 ).
Use the Beeper Definitions on page 2-2 as a guide for the programming steps. For more information on scanning,
