3.3.25.1 Set Lengths for Code 128
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
128 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific
range. The default is Any Length.
Note: When setting lengths, enter a leading zero for single digit numbers.
Scan one of the following bar codes to select a length option:
• One Discrete Length - Decode only Code 128 symbols containing a
selected length. Select the length using the bar
codes in Appendix B, Numeric Bar Codes. For
example, to decode only Code 128 symbols with 14
characters, scan Code 128 - One Discrete Length,
and then scan 1, 4. To correct an error or change the
selection, scan Cancel.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Decode only Code 128 symbols containing either of
two lengths. Select lengths using the bar codes in
Appendix B, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to
decode only Code 128 symbols containing either 2
or 14 characters, scan Code 128 - Two Discrete
Lengths, and then scan 0, 2, 1, 4. To correct an
error or change the selection, scan Cancel.
• Length Within Range - Decode Code 128 symbols with a specific length
range. Select lengths using the bar codes in
Appendix B, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to
decode Code 128 symbols containing between 4
and 12 characters, scan Code 128 - Length Within
Range, and then scan 0, 4, 1, 2. To correct an error
or change the selection, scan Cancel.
• Any Length - Decode Code 128 symbols containing any number of
characters within the engine’s capability.
