Code 11 Set 
Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Code 11 Length Control. Length 2 is the 
maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if in Fixed Length 
Mode. Length includes the barcode’s check and data characters.
The length can be set from 2 to 50 characters. A setting of 0 specifies to ignore this length (only 
one fixed length).
Table Code 11 Length 2 Setting Examples provides examples for setting Length 2. See page 250 
for detailed instructions on setting this feature.
