Plessey Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Plessey 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 ful
l-ASCII shift characters. The length 
does not include start/stop characters.
The length can be set from 1 to 50 characters. A setting of
 0 sp
ecifies to ignore this length (only 
one fixed length).
Table 27 provides examples for setting Length 2. See page 303 for detailed instructions on 
setting this feature.
