Introduction
123Scan is a Windows
®
-based utility that programs the digital 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 scanners can be programmed via PC download or by scanning a sheet of bar codes generated by the utility. 
Digital scanner programming is saved in a file for electronic distribution. The 123Scan program includes a help file.
