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 barcode 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.
