Code 128 Message Length
Scan the bar codes below to change the message length. Refer to Message Length 
Description (page 86) for additional information. Minimum and Maximum lengths 
= 0-80. Minimum Default = 0, Maximum Default = 80.
Code 128 Append
This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 128 bar 
codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When the scanner 
encounters a Code 128 bar code with the append trigger character(s), it buffers 
Code 128 bar codes until it reads a Code 128 bar code that does not have the 
append trigger. The data is then transmitted in the order in which the bar codes 
were read (FIFO). Default = On.
Code 128 Code Page
Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data 
received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the bar 
code being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the one 
the host program is expecting. If this is the case, scan the bar code below, select 
the code page with which the bar codes were created (see ISO 2022/ISO 646 
Character Replacements on page 222), and scan the value and the Save bar code 
from the Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of this manual. The data 
characters should then appear properly.
