Code 128 — cont.

Code 128 Set Length 2

This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for

Code 128 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 data characters only.

The length can be set from 1 to 80 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 80 — 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 128 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.
