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.

for the desired numeric value.
3. Go to the Set Length page for your selected symbology and scan the ENTER/EXIT
PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.
4. Scan the barcode to SELECT LENGTH 1 SETTING for your selected symbology.
5. Scan the two hex equivalent characters
from the keypad in Appendix B that represent the
numeric value determined in step 1 above.

If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode
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.
