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 Codabar to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range.
• One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only Codabar symbols containing a selected length. Select the length
using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only Codabar symbols with 14
characters, scan Codabar - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an error or to change the

an error or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-4.
• Length Within Range - Select this option to decode a Codabar symbol with a specific length range. Select lengths
using numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode Codabar symbols containing
between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Codabar - 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 Cancel on page D-4.
