Codabar Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Codabar Length Control. Length 2
is the maximum label length if in
Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if
in
Fixed Length 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 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 30 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.
