Set Lengths for Code 39
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable charac-
ters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 39 to any length,
one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a speci
fi
c range. If Code 39 Full ASCII is
enabled, Length within a Range or Any Length is the preferred options.
Please Note:
When setting lengths for di
ff
erent barcode types by scanning single digit
numbers, single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero.
One Discrete Length
- Select this option to decode only Code 39 symbols containing a
selected length. Select the length using the numeric barcodes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar
Codes. For example, to decode only Code 39 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 39 -
One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an error or change the selection,
scan Cancel barcode.
Two Discrete Lengths
- Select this option to decode only Code 39 symbols containing
either of two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric barcodes in Appendix D,
Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only those Code 39 symbols containing either 2
or 14 characters, select Code 39 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To
correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel barcode.
Length Within Range
- Select this option to decode a Code 39 symbol with a speci
fi
c
length range. Select lengths using numeric barcodes in Appendix D, Numeric Barcodes. For
example, to decode Code 39 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters,
fi
rst scan
Code 39 - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (single digit numbers must always
be preceded by a leading zero). To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel
barcode.
Any Length
- Select this option to decode Code 39 symbols containing any number of
characters within the decoder capability.
