3.6.1 Set Lengths for Code 11 
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 11 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths 
within a specific range. The default is Length Within Range: 4 to 55.   
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 11 symbols containing a 
selected length. Select the length using the bar 
codes in Appendix B, Numeric Bar Codes. For 
example, to decode only Code 11 symbols with 14 
characters, scan Code 11 - One Discrete Length, 
and then scan 1, 4. To correct an error or change 
the selection, scan Cancel. 
• Two Discrete Lengths - Decode only Code 11 symbols containing either 
of two lengths. Select lengths using the bar codes 
in Appendix B, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, 
to decode only Code 11 symbols containing either 
2 or 14 characters, scan Code 11 - 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 11 symbols with a specific length 
range. Select lengths using the bar codes in 
Appendix B, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to 
decode Code 11 symbols containing between 4 
and 12 characters, scan Code 11 - Length Within 
Range, and then scan 0, 4, 1, 2. To correct an 
error or change the selection, scan Cancel. 
•Any Length - Decode Code 11 symbols containing any number of   
characters within the engine’s capability.
