Methods to fix the length of read barcodes
For barcodes where a fixed length is possible, there are the "fixed length A" and "fixed length B" settings.
There are three methods to fix the length.
Fixed length method Configuration method Readable length
Specify range Fixed length A < fixed length B Fixed length A to fixed length B
Specify fixed length Fixed length A ≥ fixed length B Fixed length A, fixed length B
Not specified Fixed length A = 00H 1 digit to 64 digits
„
Specify range
You can specify a range for the length by setting the minimum barcode length to read for fixed length A and setting the
maximum for fixed length B (fixed length A < fixed length B). However, do not set fixed length A as "00H". A range cannot
be specified in that way.
Example: When fixed length A is set to "02H" and fixed length B is set to "08H"
A barcode of a length of 2 to 8 digits can be read because fixed length A < fixed length B.
„
Specify fixed length
If the setting value for fixed length A is larger than that of fixed length B (fixed length A > fixed length B), two types of
fixed lengths can be set. If fixed length B is "00H", only the length set by fixed length A can be read.
If fixed length A and fixed length B are set to the same value (fixed length A=fixed length B), only the fixed length that has
been set can be read.
Example: When fixed length A is set to "08H" and fixed length B is set to "02H"
A barcode of a length of 2 digits or 8 digits can be read because fixed length A > fixed length B.
Example: When fixed length A is set to "05H" and fixed length B is set to "05H"
Only a barcode of a length of 5 digits can be read because fixed length A = fixed length B.
„
Not specified fixed length
If fixed length A is set to "00H", length is not fixed. A barcode of a length of 1 to 64 digits can be read.
Example: When fixed length A is set to "00H"
A barcode of a length of 1 to 64 digits can be read because fixed length A = 00H.
