Data Matrix Length 1, Length 2 Programming Instructions
If Data Matrix Length Control is set to Fixed‐Length decoding, this feature specifies Data
Matrix first fixed length. If Data Matrix Length Control is set to Variable‐Length decoding,
this feature specifies the minimum label length.
NOTE
For Data Matrix barcodes, only the data char
acters are included in the
length calculations.
To set this feature:
1. Scan the Enter/Exit Programming Mode barcode at the top of the page.
2. Scan the barcode,
Set Data Matrix Length 1 on page 261or Set Data Matrix Length 2 on
page 261 below. You’ll need to cover any unused barcodes on this and the facing page
to ensure that the scanner reads only the barcode you intend to scan.
3. Scan the appropriate digits from the
Alpha-Numeric Keypad in Appendix C that repre‐
sent the desired label length. The selectable range for this option is 0001 to 3116. Pad
all nu
mbers with leading zeros to yield a four‐digit entry (0001‐3116).
4. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the ENTER/EXIT Programming
Mode bar
code.
