3.2.2 Set Lengths for Code 128
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
128 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific
range.
•
One Discrete Length
- Select this option to decode only Code 128 symbols
containing a selected length. Select the length using
the Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode
only Code 128 symbols with 14 characters, scan
Code 128 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1
followed by 4. To correct an error or change the
selection, scan Cancel.
•
Two Discrete Lengths
- Select this option to decode only Code 128 symbols
containing either of two selected lengths. Select
lengths using the Numeric Bar Codes. For example,
to decode only Code 128 symbols containing either
2 or 14 characters, select Code 128 - Two Discrete
Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an
error or change the selection, scan Cancel.
•
Length Within Range

a specific length range. Select lengths using the
Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode Code
128 symbols containing between 4 and 12
characters, first scan Code 128 - Length Within
Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (enter a leading
zero for single digit numbers). To correct an error or
change the selection, scan Cancel.
