Product Reference Guide 169
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 Program-
ming 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 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 Table 22 for some examples of how to set this feature.

NOTE
If you make a mistake, before the last character scan the CANCEL barcode to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
