MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide
If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X15598 is scanned, this rule is ignored because the length
criteria is not met.
The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs.
Using ADF Bar Codes
When programming a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before
scanning.
To program each data formatting rule:
• Start the Rule. Scan the Begin New Rule bar code on page 13-8.
• Criteria. Scan the bar codes for all pertinent criteria. Criteria can include code type
(e.g., Code 128), code length, or data that contains a specific character string (e.g.,
the digits “129”). These options are described in Criteria on page 13-12.
• Actions. Scan all actions related to, or affecting, these criteria. The actions of a
rule specify how to format the data for transmission. These options are described
in ADF Bar Code Menu Example on page 13-3.
• Save the Rule. Scan the Save Rule bar code on page 13-9. This places the rule
in the “top” position in the rule buffer.
• If you make errors during this process, some special-purpose bar codes can be
useful: Erase Criteria and Start Again, Erase Actions and Start Again, Erase
Previously Saved Rule, etc.
Erase criteria, actions, and entire rules by scanning the appropriate bar code (see page 13-
9).
Beeper and LED Definitions on page 1-8 help guide you through the programming steps.
