136 Magellan™ 800i Scanner
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, Alphanumeric Pad and scan the two digits (zero pad-
ded) representing the length in decimal notation. The number of charac-
ters 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
