Code 128 Length Control

. Length 1 is the

minimum label length if in

The length can be set from 1 to 80 characters.

Follow these instructions to set this feature:

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 128 LENGTH 1 SETTING.

, 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
