Introduction
123Scan is a Windows
®
-based utility that programs the digital imager scanner with all parameters including
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules. An ADF rule modifies bar code data before it is sent to the host to
ensure compatibility between bar coded data and the host application. Digital imager scanners can be
programmed via PC download or by scanning a sheet of bar codes generated by the utility. Digital imager
scanner programming is saved in a file for electronic distribution. The 123Scan program includes a help file.
Communication with 123Scan

system, use an RS-232 cable to connect the digital imager scanner to the host computer (see
