The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check
digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 128 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths
within a specific range. The default Any Length.
• One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only Code 128 symbols containing a selected
length. Select the length using the numeric barcodes in <em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Appendix G,
Numeric Barcodes. For example, to decode only Code 128 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code
128 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an error or change the
selection, scan <bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Cancel on page H-1.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only Code 128 symbols containing either
of two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric barcodes in
<em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Appendix G, Numeric Barcodes. For example, to decode only Code 128
symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Code 128 - Two Discrete Lengths, then
scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an error or change the selection, scan
<bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Cancel on page H-1.
• Length Within Range - Select this option to decode a Code 128 symbol with a specific length
range. Select lengths using numeric barcodes in <em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Appendix G, Numeric
Barcodes. For example, to decode Code 128 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters,
first scan Code 128 - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (enter a leading zero for single
digit numbers). To correct an error or change the selection, scan
<bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Cancel on page H-1.
