Transfer Data Syntax for High Capacity ADC Media

This function supports the international ISO/IEC FDIS 15434 standard for "Information technology – Automatic identification and data capture techniques – Syntax for high-capacity ADC media".

The standard defines the manner in which data is transferred to high-capacity automatic data capture (ADC) media from the supplier’s information system and the manner in which the data is transferred to the recipient’s information system.

The standard uses high-capacity technologies, such as two-dimensional symbols, to encode multiple fields of data. These fields are usually parsed by the recipient’s information system and mapped to specific data fields in the recipient’s information system.

This function allows you to encode data in the label objects. You can combine several pieces of information in a single message. Each part begins with a header, and is followed by the message. Each data field may have a fixed manually entered value, or can be connected to a variable.

Note

Make sure the variable has the same data format as required by the data identifier. Data identifiers usually have a strict format set by the standard.

About group identifies the function.

  • Name: function ID, initially defined by the function type.

  • Description: function's purpose and role as defined by the user.

  • Application Identifiers: cross-industry standardized set of data identifiers.

Tip

The purpose of identifiers is to provide a unique item identification. To manage the identifiers, click Edit Function Definition.

Function Definition dialog allows the user to Add, Delete, and edit the selected identifiers.

  • Format Envelope: column defines the starting and ending positions for a data item in a given Format. Each Format Envelope contains a Format Header, data and a Format Trailer.

Example 42. Example:

  • Format envelope 02 represents Complete EDI message/transaction data.

  • Format envelope 06 represents data which is encoded using ASC MH 101 Data Identifiers.

  • Data Elements: column defines the identifier content. Insert the data to be encoded manually or define a data source.

  • Format Header Data: defines two mandatory format header elements.

    • Version: organization that controls the data structure.

      Note

      Each identifier allows adding multiple elements.

    • Release: release number of ADC media standard.
