Code 128 Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the bar code lengths for Code 128 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 
data characters only.
The length can be set from 1 to 80 char
acters. A setting of 0 specifies to 
ignore this length (only one fixed length).
Table 7 provides examples for setting Length 2. See page 290 for detailed 
instructions on setting this feature.
