Set Lengths for Code 11
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters),
including check digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 11 to any length, one or
two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range.
• One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only Code 11 bar codes containing a
selected length. Select the length using the numeric bar codes in Appendix E, Keypad.
For example, to decode only Code 11 bar codes with 14 characters, scan Code 11 - One
Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an error or to change the selec-
tion, scan the CANCEL bar code located in Appendix E, Keypad.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only Code 11 bar codes contain-
ing either of two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appen-
dix E, Keypad. For example, to decode only those Code 11 bar codes containing either 2
or 14 characters, select Code 11 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then
4. To correct an error or to change the selection, scan the CANCEL bar code located
in Appendix E, Keypad.
• Length Within Range - Select this option to decode a Code 11 bar code with a spe-
cific length range. Select lengths using numeric bar codes in Appendix E, Keypad.
For example, to decode Code 11 bar codes containing between 4 and 12 characters,
first scan Code 11 - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (single digit numbers
must always be preceded by a leading zero). To correct an error or change the selection,
scan the CANCEL bar code located in Appendix E, Keypad.
• Any Length - Scan this option to decode Code 11 bar codes containing any number of
characters within the scanner capability.
