Set Lengths for Code 39
Parameter # L1 = 18, L2 = 19
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check
digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 39 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within
a specific range. If Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled, Length Within a Range or Any Length are the preferred
options. The default option is Length Within Range, 2 to 55.
•
One Discrete Length - Decode only Code 39 symbols containing a selected length. Select the length
using the bar codes in Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only Code 39 symbols
with 14 characters, scan Code 39 - One Discrete Length, and then scan 1, 4. To correct an error or
change the selection, scan Cancel on page G-2.
•
Two Discrete Lengths - Decode only Code 39 symbols containing either of two lengths. Select
lengths using the bar codes in Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only Code 39
symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Code 39 - Two Discrete Lengths, and then scan
0, 2, 1, 4. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page G-2.
•
Length Within Range - Decode a Code 39 symbol with a specific length range. Select lengths
using the bar codes in Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode Code 39 symbols
containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Code 39 - Length Within Range, and then scan 0,
4, 1, 2. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page G-2.
•
Any Length - Decode Code 39 symbols containing any number of characters within the digital scanner’s
capability.
NOTE When setting lengths, enter a leading zero for single digit numbers.
