Codabar Set Length 1
This feature specifies one of the bar code lengths for Codabar Length Control. Length 1
is the minimum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the first fixed length if in
Fixed Length Mode. Length includes the bar code’s start, stop, check and data charac-
ters. The length must include at least one data character.
The length can be set from 3 to 50 characters.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 3 to 50). Pad the number with leading
zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter Programming
Mo
de.
3. Scan the bar code: SELECT CODABAR LENGTH 1 SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad, that represent
the length setting which was determined in the s
teps above. You will hear a two-beep indi-
cation after the last character.
NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last character, 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 bar code to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See Table 29 for some examples of how to set this feature.
