Code 128 Set Length 2

This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Code 128 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 data characters only.

The length can be set from 1 to 80 characters. A setting of 0 sp

ecifies to ignore this length (only

one fixed length).

Table 5 provides examples for setting Length 2. See page 303 for detailed instructions on setting

this feature.
