MDF Terms and Definitions
- Multicode - Industry term for the ability to scan multiple bar codes with one trigger pull.
- Multicode Data Formatting (MDF) - Zebra's name for Multicode.
- MDF Session - The act of decoding a label from trigger pull to either data transmission or
decode session termination.
- MDF Group - The complete set of commands for processing a single label which contains
multiple bar codes. 123Scan can program from one to nine MDF Groups.
- MDF Rule - The programming steps for processing a single bar code. Similar to an ADF
Rule, the MDF Rule contains both criteria and actions. One MDF Rule identifies a single
bar code and how to format its data; more bar codes require more MDF Rules.
- Pattern Match - The criteria used to determine if a set of scanned bar codes qualify for
Multicode Data Formatting. If the pattern match criteria are not met, Multicode Data
Formatting is not applied.
Each bar code within the pattern match is defined according to the bar code criteria identified below.
- Code Type
This is a required field when specifying a bar code within the pattern match.
- Code Length
This is an optional field when specifying a bar code within the pattern match.
- String
This is an optional field when specifying a bar code within the pattern match.
- String Starting Position
Specific location: This is an optional field when specifying a bar code within the pattern
match.
Preferred Symbol
Preferred Symbol is a bar code prioritization technique that enables favored decoding of user
designated high priority bar code(s). The Preferred Symbol is the only bar code that is decoded and
output within the preset Preferred Symbol Timeout. During this time, the scanner attempts to decode
the prioritized bar code and reports only this bar code.
For more information, refer to the MDF and Preferred Symbol User Guide.
Programming Options
To program Preferred Symbol via 123Scan, select 123Scan > Configuration Wizard >
Symbologies screen, and then select Preferred Symbol from the drop-down menu. Preferred
Symbol programming is saved in the 123Scan configuration file.
Preferred Symbol can be deployed to a fleet of 2D imaging scanners using the Scanner Management
Service (SMS) through a traditional SMS package.
