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.
Reference the
1D Symbologies, starting on page 111
to view the selectable range (num
-
ber of characters) for the symbology being set. A setting of 00 specifies to ignore this
length (only one fixed length).
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length. 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
Mode.
3. Scan the “Select Length 2 Setting” for the symbology being set.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in
, 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 the following table for examples of how to set this
feature.
Table 29 Length 2 Setting Examples
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.
