Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the bar code lengths for a given symbology. Length 2 is the
maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if in Fixed Length
Mode.
Reference the
Symbologies
section to view the selectable range (number of characters) for the
symbology being set. A setting of 00 specifies to ignore this length (only one fixed length).
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length. Pad the number with leading zeroes to yield two
di
gits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter Programming Mode.
3. Scan the “Select Length 2 Setting” for the symbology being set.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from
the keypad in
Appendix D, Keypad
, that represent the
length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indi-
cation after the last character.
NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL bar code to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the begin-
ning.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit Programming Mode.
This completes the procedure. See the table below
for examples of how to set this feature.
