Introduction
This chapter briefly describes the Zebra features available for customizing scanner operation.
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF)
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) allows customizing data before transmission to the host device. Use ADF to edit
scanned data to suit the host application's requirements. With ADF you scan one barcode per trigger pull. ADF is
programmed using 123Scan.

For additional information, refer to the Advanced Data Formatting Programmer Guide.
Multicode Data Formatting (Hand-held Mode Only)
Multicode Data Formatting (MDF) enables a 2D scanner to scan all barcodes on a label with a single trigger pull,
and then modify and transmit the data to meet host application requirements. MDF supports programming up to
nine unique labels into one scanner. MDF also supports scanning multiple barcodes on opposite sides of a box by
holding the trigger.
MDF options include:
• Output all or specific barcodes.
• Control the barcode output sequence.
• Apply unique multicode data formatting (MDF) to each output barcode.
• Discard scanned data if all required barcodes are not present.
