Length Control
Fixed Length Decoding—
When fixed length decoding is enabled, the scanner will decode a
bar code if the label length matches one of the configurable fixed lengths.
Variable Length Decoding—
When variable length decoding is enabled, the scanner will
decode a bar code if the label length falls in the range of the configurable minimum and maxi-
mum length.
Configuring Fixed Length Decoding:
1. Scan the START/END bar code.
2. Scan the Fixed Length Decoding bar code for the desired symbology.
3. Scan the START/END bar code.
4. Set Length 1 to the first fixed length by following the
Length 1, Length 2 Programming
Instructions
below.
5. Set Length 2 to the second fixed length (or to ‘00’ if there is only one fixed length) by fol-
lowing the
Length 1, Length 2 Programming Instructions
below.
Configuring Variable Length Decoding:
1. Scan the START/END bar code.
2. Scan the Variable Length Decoding bar code for the desired symbology.
3. Scan the START/END bar code.
4. Set Length 1 to the first variable length by following the
Length 1, Length 2 Programming
Instructions
below.
5. Set Length 2 to the second variable length by following the
Length 1, Length 2 Program-
ming Instructions
below.
Length 1, Length 2 Programming Instructions
1. Scan the START/END bar code.
2. Scan either the Set Length 1 or Set Length 2 bar code for the desired symbology.
3. Turn to
Appendix C, Alphanumeric Pad
and scan the two digits (zero padded) representing
the length in decimal notation. The number of characters that can be set varies, depend-
ing upon the symbology. Reference the page for your selected symbology to see specific
variables.
4. Scan the START/END bar code
