Codabar Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the bar code lengths for Codabar Length Con-
trolCodabar Length Control. Length 2 is the maximum label length if in 
Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if in Fixed Length Mode. 
The length includes the bar code’s sta
rt, stop, check and data characters. 
The length must include at least one data character.
The length can be set from 3 to 50 char
acters. A setting of 0 specifies to 
ignore this length (only one fixed length).
