The number of characters that can be set varies, depending on the symbology. Reference the
page for your selected symbology to see specific variables.
1
Determine the desired character length (varies depending on symbology). Pad the number
with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2
Go to the Set Length page for your selected symbology and scan the ENTER/EXIT PRO-
GRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.
3
Scan the barcode to SELECT LENGTH 1 SETTING for your selected symbology.
4
Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in

Mode. See the page for
the specific symbology for parameters.
The length that can be set varies depending on the symbology. A setting of 0 specifies to ignore
this length (only one fixed length).
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1
Determine the desired character length (from 1 to 50 — or 0 to ignore this length). Pad the
number with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
