Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the bar code 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. Length includes the bar code’s data char-
acters only.
Reference the
Symbologies on page 89
section to view the selectable range (num-
ber of characters) for the symbology being set.. A setting of 00 specifies to
ig
nore 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 bar code to enter Program-
ming 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
will hear a two-beep indication after the last character.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See
Table 23
for some examples of how to set
this feature.
