Codablock F — cont.
Codablock F Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for
Codablock F Length Control
.
Length 2 is the maximum label length if in
Variable Length
Mode, or the second fixed
length if in
Fixed Length
Mode. Length includes the barcode’s check, data, and full-
ASCII shift characters. The length does not include start/stop characters.
The length can be set from 3 to 255 characters. A setting of 0 specifies to ignore this
length (only one fixed length).
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 3 to 255 — or 0 to ignore this length). Pad
the number with leading zeroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 005, 20 =
020, etc.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
3. Scan the barcode: SELECT CODABLOCK F LENGTH 2 SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate three digits from the keypad in the Keypad Appendix that represent
the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indi-
cation after the last character.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See the table below for some examples of how to set this
feature.

NOTE
If you make a mistake, before the last character scan the CANCEL barcode to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
