Advanced Data Formatting (ADF)
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Use ADF
to edit scan data to suit requirements. Implement ADF by scanning a related series of bar codes which program the
scanner with ADF rules.
For information and programming bar codes for ADF, refer to the Advanced Data Formatting Programmer Guide.
