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 on page 85
section to view the selectable range (num-
ber of characters) for the symbology being set. A setting of 00 specifies to
igno
re this length (only one fixed length).
Follow these instructions to set this
feature:
1. Determine the desired character length. Pad the number with leading
zero
es to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter Program-
ming Mode.
3. Scan the “Select Length 2 Setting” for the symbology being set.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in

, that
represent the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You
will
hear a two-beep indication after the last character.
NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last ch
aracter, scan the CANCEL bar
code to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again
at the beginning.
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
