Set Lengths for Code 39

The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s)

the code contains. Lengths for Code 39 may be set for 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.

One Discrete Length - This option allows the scanner to decode only those Code 39 symbols containing a

selected length. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes beginning on page D-1 in Appendix D, Numeric

Bar Codes. For example, to decode only Code 39 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 39 - One Discrete

Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.

Code 39 - One Discrete Length

Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows the scanner to decode only those Code 39 symbols containing

either of two selected lengths. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes beginning on page D-1 in

Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only those Code 39 symbols containing either 2 or 14

characters, select Code 39 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. In case of an error, or to

change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.

Code 39 - Two Discrete Lengths

Length Within Range - This option allows the scanner to decode a Code 39 symbol with a specific length

range. The length range is selected from numeric bar codes beginning on page D-1 in Appendix D, Numeric

Bar Codes. For example, to decode Code 39 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Code

39 - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading

zero). In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.

Code 39 - Length Within Range

Any Length - This option allows the scanner to decode Code 39 symbols containing any number of characters

within the scanner capability.

Code 39 - Any Length

NOTE When setting lengths for different bar code types by scanning single digit numbers, single digit numbers

must always be preceded by a leading zero.
