Set Length 2
This feature allows you to set one of the bar code lengths for the specified 
symbology. Length 2 is the maximum label length if in Variable Length 
Mode, or the second fi
xed length if in Fixed Length Mode. See the page for 
the specific symbology for parameters.
The length that can be set varies depending on the symbology. A setting of 
0 specifies to ignore this length (only one fixed length).
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired characte
r length (from 1 to 50 — or 0 to ignore 
this length). Pad the number with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For 
example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2. Go to the Set Length page for your
 selected symbology and scan the 
ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter Programming 
Mode.
3. Scan the bar code to SELECT LENGTH 
2 SETTING for your selected sym-
bology.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix D, Keypad 
that represent the length setting which was determined in the steps 
abov
e. You will hear a two-beep indication after the last character.
If you make a mistake, before the last character scan the CANCEL bar 
code to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again 
at the beginning.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit Program-
ming Mode.
This completes the procedure.
