Set Length
Length Control allows you to select either variable length decoding or fixed
length decoding for the specified symbology.
Variable Length:
For variable length decoding, a minimum and maximum length
may be set.
Fixed Length:
For fixed length decoding, two different lengths may be set.
Set Length 1
This feature specifies one of the bar code lengths for a given symbology.
Length 1 is the minimum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the first
fixed length if in Fixed Length Mode.
Reference the
section to view the selectable range
(number of characters) for the symbology being set.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length. Pad the number with leading
zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter Program-
ming Mode.
3. Scan the “Select Length 1 Setting” for the symbology being set.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in
, that repre-
sent the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will
hear a two-beep indication after the last character.
NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL bar
code to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again
at the beginning.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See the table below for examples of how to set
