Codabar Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for
is the maximum label length if in
Mode, or the second fixed length if
in
Mode. The length includes the barcode’s start, stop, check and data
characters. The length must include at least one data character.
The length can be set from 3 to 50 characters. 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 3 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.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Program-
ming Mode.
3. Scan the barcode: SELECT CODABAR LENGTH 2 SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in
, that rep-
resent 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 barcode to exit Program-
ming Mode.
This completes the procedure. See
for some examples of how to set this feature.

If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to
