Set Lengths for Code 39
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s)
the code contains. Set lengths for Code 39 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific
range. If Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled, Length Within a Range
Length Within a Range
Length Within a Range
Length Within a Range or Any Length
Any Length
Any Length
Any Length are the preferred options.
When setting lengths for different bar code types by scanning single digit numbers, single digit numbers must always
be preceded by a leading zero.
