Multicode Data Formatting (MDF)

Multicode Data Formatting (MDF) enables a 2D imaging scanner to scan all bar codes 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 bar codes on opposite sides of a box by holding the trigger.

Programming options include:

  • Output all or specific bar codes.
  • Control the bar code output sequence.
  • Apply unique MDF to each output bar code.
  • Discard scanned data if all required bar codes are not present.
