for the specified symbology.

 Variable Length: any length between a minimum and maximum length (inclusive).

 Fixed Length: one or two different fixed lengths

Set Length 1

This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Length Control. Length 1 is the

minimum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the first fixed length if in Fixed Length

Mode.

The length that can be set varies, depending on the symbology, however Length 1 cannot be

0. Reference the page for your selected symbology to see specific variables.

PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.

to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the

beginning.

6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming Mode.
