Minimum Label
Length
Follow these steps to set Code 39 Minimum Label Length:
1. Identify the minimum label length setting you want to make.
The selectable range is 00 to 48
1
characters.
2. Scan the SET bar code.
3. Scan the SET MINIMUM LABEL LENGTH bar code.
4. Set the minimum label length by scanning the applicable
digits from the bar codes on page 72. Return to this page and
go to step five.
5. Scan the END barcode.
1. For this symbology, the scanner will decode up to 48 characters, but the actual length read will
vary depending upon interface type, and bar code physical size and quality. Code 39 bar codes
containing one or more full ASCII characters can also limit the amount of characters that will be
decoded (in these circumstances, the scanner will decode at least 24 data characters).
NOTE
If you are setting a label length less than ten,
you must scan a zero digit first and then the
length digit (e.g., 04, 06, 08).
