Fixed Length
Format
All interfaces that are shipped with the standard factory configuration
are set to read variable length labels. If you switch from the variable to
fixed length format, the default label lengths are 14 characters and 8
digits. All fixed length settings must be an even number.
Follow the steps below to set Interleaved 2 of 5 symbology to Fixed
Length Format.
1. Identify the fixed length settings you want to make.
2. Scan the SET bar code.
3. Scan the ENABLE FIXED LENGTH FORMAT bar code.
4. Scan the SET FIRST FIXED LENGTH bar code.
5. Set the first fixed label length by scanning the digit bar codes
from page 87 (even number only). Return to this page.
If you need to set a second fixed length, continue to step six. If you do
not need to set a second fixed length skip to step nine.
6. Scan the SET SECOND FIXED LENGTH bar code.
7. Set the second fixed label length by scanning the applicable
digit bar codes from page 87.
8. Return to this page and go to step ten.
9. Scan the NO SECOND FIXED LENGTH bar code.
10. Scan the END bar code.
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).
