When variable length decoding is enabled, the scanner will
decode a barcode if the label length falls in the range of the configurable minimum and
maximum length.

1. Scan the Enter/Exit Programming Mode barcode at the top of the page.
2. Scan the Fixed Length Decoding barcode for the desired symbology.
3. Scan the Enter/Exit Programming Mode barcode at the top of the page.
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 Enter/Exit Programming Mode barcode at the top of the page.
2. Scan the Variable Length Decoding barcode for the desired symbology.
