Plessey Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Plessey Length Control on 
page 248. Length 2 is the maximum label length if in Variable Length on page 
302 Mode, or the second fixed length if in Fixed Length on page 302 Mode. 
Length includes the barcode’s check, data, and full-ASCII shift characters. The 
length does not include start/stop characters.
The length can be set from 1 to 50 characters. A setting of 0 specifies to ignore 
this length (only one fixed length).
Table 4 provides examples for setting Length 2. See page 303 for detailed 
instructions on setting this feature.
