Length Control
Fixed Length Decoding—
When fixed length decoding is enabled, the scanner will decode a
bar code if the label length matches one of the configurable fixed lengths.
Variable Length Decoding—
When variable length decoding is enabled, the scanner will
decode a bar code if the label length falls in the range of the configurable minimum and maxi-
mum length.
Configuring Fixed Length Decoding:
1. Scan the START/END bar code.
2. Scan the Fixed Length Decoding bar code for the desired symbology.
3. Scan the START/END bar code.
4. Set Length 1 to the first fixed length by following the
Length 1, Length 2 Programming
Instructions
below.
5. Set Length 2 to the second fixed length (or to ‘00’ if there is only one fixed length) by fol-
lowing the
Length 1, Length 2 Programming Instructions below.
Configuring Variable Length Decoding:
1. Scan the START/END bar code.
2. Scan the Variable Length Decoding bar code for the desired symbology.
3. Scan the START/END bar code.
4. Set Length 1 to the first variable length by following the
Length 1, Length 2 Programming
Instructions
below.
5. Set Length 2 to the second variable length by following the
Length 1, Length 2 Program-
ming Instructions
below.
Length 1, Length 2 Programming Instructions
1. Scan the START/END bar code.
2. Scan either the Set Length 1 or Set Length 2 bar code for the desired symbology.
3. Turn to
Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the two digits (zero padded) representing
the length in decimal notation. The number of characters that can be set varies, depend-
ing upon the symbology. Reference the page for your selected symbology to see specific
variables.
4. Scan the START/END bar code
