Product Reference Guide 311
Code 93 — cont.
Code 93 Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for
Code 93 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 1 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 1 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 barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
3. Scan the barcode: SELECT CODE 93 LENGTH 2 SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate two 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.

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.
