This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for
Code 39 Length Control
. Length 1
is the minimum label length if in
Variable Length
Mode, or the first fixed length if in
Fixed Length
Mode. Length includes the barcode’s data characters only.
The length can be set from 0 to 50 characters.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 0 to 50). Pad the number with lead-
ing zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Program-
ming Mode.
3. Scan the barcode: SELECT CODE 39 LENGTH 1 SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in
Appendix E, Keypad
, that rep-
resent the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a
two-beep indication after the last character.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Program-
ming Mode.
This completes the procedure. See
Table 21
for some examples of how to set this feature.

abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
