Code Lengths
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (human
readable characters) the code contains. You can set the code length
for certain one-dimensional code types (Code 39, Codabar,
Interleaved 2 of 5) to any length, one or two disrete lengths, or
lengths within a specific range. You cannot set a discrete length for
Code 128.
Any Length
Select this option to decode a one-dimensional code containing any
number of characters. For example, to scan a Codabar symbol
containing any number of characters, scan Codabar Any Length.
Length Within Range
Select this option to decode a one-dimensional code containing a
length within a specified range. For example, to decode Code 39
codes containing between 4 and 12 characters, scan the Code 39
Length Within Range code. Then scan, 0, 4, 1, 2. Single digit
numbers must be preceded with a zero.
One Discrete Length
Select this option to decode only one-dimensional codes containing a
selected length. For example, to decode Codabar codes containing
14 characters, scan Codabar – One Discrete Length. Then scan 1
and 4.
Two Discrete Lengths
Select this option to decode only one-dimensional codes containing
two selected lengths. For example, to decode Interleaved 2 of 5
codes containing 2 or 14 characters, scan Interleaved 2 of 5 – Two
Discrete Lengths. Then scan 0, 2, 1, 4. Single digit numbers must
be preceded with a zero.
