Code 93 Set Length 1
This feature specifies one of the bar code lengths for Code 93 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 data characters only.
The length can be set from 01 to 50 characters.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 0 to 50). Pad the number with leading
zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 1 = 01, 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 CODE 93 LENGTH 1 SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in the Keypad Appendix, that represent
the lengt
h setting which was determined in the steps 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 the table below for some examples of how to set this
feature.
