3.4.5 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. 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
Range or Any Length are the preferred options. The default is Length
Within Range: 2 to 55.
Scan one of the following bar codes to select a length option:
• One Discrete Length - Decode only Code 39 symbols containing a
selected length. Select the length using the bar
codes in Appendix B, 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.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Decode only Code 39 symbols containing either
of two lengths. Select lengths using the bar
codes in Appendix B, Numeric Bar Codes. For
example, to decode only Code 39 symbols
containing either 2 or 14 characters, scan Code
39 - 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 39 symbols with a specific length
range. Select lengths using the bar codes in
Appendix B, Numeric Bar Codes. For example,
to decode Code 39 symbols containing between
4 and 12 characters, scan Code 39 - Length
Within Range, and then scan 0, 4, 1, 2. To
correct an error or change the selection, scan
Cancel.
• Any Length - Decode Code 39 symbols containing any number of
characters within the engine’s capability.
Note : When setting lengths, enter a leading zero for single digit numbers.
