Set Length
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 Varible Length Mode, or the first
fixed length if in Fixed Length Mode. Length includes the bar code’s data char-
acters only.
Reference the
Symbologies on page 89 section to view the selectable range (num-
ber 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
Appendix D, Keypad , that
represent 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 bar code to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See Table 22 for some examples of how to set
this feature.
