When you choose a rule, an associated screen is displayed in which you can define
the rule.
6.25.6.1 Case Rules
The case rules are defined as follows:
• No rule – ignored.
• Search and replace – replaces all instances of the match string. (Note that
this rule cannot fail.)
• Match at index – matches the match string at a specified index.
• Match and replace at index – matches the match string at a specified index
and replaces/changes it.
• Replace at index – replaces/changes unspecified data in a given range.
• Add barcode prefix/suffix – adds a global prefix or suffix.
• Verify barcode size – verifies the bar code size. This rule should generally
be assigned first, before creating subsequent rules.
Note: Keep in mind that the effects of previously applied rules must be taken
into account when creating subsequent rules. For example, if the bar code
size is important, it should be checked before any rules that might change
the size are applied.
Translation information about the status of each case/rule is displayed in the scan
log file (see “Scan Log File” on page 207) when enabled. This is useful if a case
fails, and you are trying to determine why a rule is failing.
