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 scan-
ner will decode a bar code if the label length falls in the range of the configu-
rable minimum and maximum 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 following 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 Programming 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 sym-
bology.
3. Turn to Appendix C, and scan the two digits (zero padded) representing
the length in decimal notation. The number of characters that can be set
varies, depending upon the symbology. Reference the page for your
selected symbology to see specific variables.
4. Scan the START/END bar code
