Codabar Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Codabar Length Control. Length 2 is the
maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if in Fixed Length
Mode. The length includes the barcode’s start, stop, check and data characters. The length must
include at least one data character.
The length can be set from 3 to 50 characters. A setting of 0 sp
ecifies to ignore this length (only
one fixed length).
Table 17 provides examples for setting Length 2. See page 303 for detailed instructions on
setting this feature.
