Code 39 — cont.

Code 39 Set Length 2

This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for

Code 39 Length Control

. Length 2 is the

maximum label length if in

Variable Length

Mode, or the second fixed length if in

Fixed Length

Mode. Length includes the barcode’s check, data, and full-ASCII shift characters. The length
does not include start/stop characters.

The length can be set from 1 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 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.

2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming

Mode.

3. Scan the barcode: SELECT CODE 39 LENGTH 2 SETTING.

4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in

Appendix E, Keypad

, that represent the

length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indica-
tion after the last character.

NOTE

5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming

Mode.

This completes the procedure. See Table

for some examples of how to set this feature.
