Code 11
When enabled, Code 11 symbols will be scanned, decoded and transmitted. Set this parameter by scanning either of the
bar codes shown below.
Set Lengths for Code 11
L1 Default: 4
L2 Default: 55
Lengths for Code 11 may be set for:
• any length,
• one or two discrete lengths,
• or lengths within a specific range.
The length of a code refers to the number of characters, including check digits, the code contains. It also includes any
start or stop characters.
See the table titled ASCII Character Equivalents (page 6-1).
One Discrete Length (Parameter L1)
This option decodes only those codes containing a selected length. For example, when you want to scan only
Code 11 symbols containing 14 characters, scan the “Code 11 One Discrete Length” bar code and then “1” and
“4” bar codes using the Keypad Number Symbols (page 3-72).
To begin setting one discrete length, scan this bar code:
Next, scan two numeric bar codes that correspond to the desired value. Single digit numbers must have a leading
zero. If you wish to change your number selection, scan Cancel on the Keypad Number Symbols page.
Two Discrete Lengths (Parameter L2)
This option decodes only those codes containing two selected lengths. For example, when you want to scan only
Code 11 symbols containing 2 or 14 characters, scan the “Code 11 Two Discrete Lengths” bar code and then “0”,
“2”, “1” and “4” bar codes using the Keypad Number Symbols at the end of this chapter.
To begin setting two discrete lengths, scan this bar code:
