Codabar — cont.
Codabar Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the bar code lengths for
Codabar Length Control
. Length 2
is the maximum label length if in
Variable Length
Mode, or the second fixed length if
in
Fixed Length
Mode. The length includes the bar code’s start, stop, check and data
characters. The length must include at least one data character.
The length can be set from 3 to 50 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 50 — or 0 to ignore this 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 Programming
Mode.
3. Scan the bar code: SELECT CODABAR LENGTH 2 SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in
Appendix E, Keypad
, that represent
the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indi-
cation 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
Table 30
for some examples of how to set this feature.
