Plessey Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the bar code lengths for Plessey Length Con-
trol. Length 2 is the maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or 
the second fixed length if in Fixed Length Mode. Length includes the bar 
code’s check, data, and full-ASCII shif
t characters. The length does not 
include start/stop characters.
The length can be set from 1 to 50 char
acters. A setting of 0 specifies to 
ignore this length (only one fixed length).
Table 25 provides examples for setting Length 2. See page 290 for detailed 
instructions on setting this feature.
