Codablock F Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Codablock F 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, data, and full-ASCII shift characters. The
length does not include start/stop characters.
The length can be set from 3 to 255 characters. A setting of 0 specifies to ignore this
length (only one fixed length).
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 3 to 50 — or 0 to
ignore this length). Pad
the number with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20,
etc.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mo
de
.
3. Scan the barcode: SELECT CODABLOCK F LENGTH 2 SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate three digits from the keypad in the Keypad Appendix 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
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See the table below for some examples of h
ow to set this feature.
