Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for a given symbology. Length
2 is the maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed
length if in Fixed Length Mode.
Reference the
1D Symbologies on page 105 section to view the selectable range
(number of characters) for the symbology being set. A setting of 0
0 specifies to
ignore this length (only one fixed length).
Follow these instructions
to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length. Pad the number with leading
zer
oes 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 “Select Length 2 Setting” for the symbology being set.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix D, Keypad , that
represent the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You
wil
l hear a two-beep indication after the last character.
NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last cha
racter, 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 barcode to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See the table below for examples of how to set
this fe
ature.
