Set Lengths for Code 128
L1 = Parameter # 209
SSI # D1h
L2 = Parameter # 210
SSI # D2h
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 Any Length.
Scan one of the following barcodes to select a length option:
• One Discrete Length - Decode only Code 128 symbols containing a selected length. Select the length
using the barcodes in Numeric Barcodes. 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 on page 426.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Decode only Code 128 symbols containing either of two lengths. Select
lengths using the barcodes in Numeric Barcodes. 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 on page 426.
• Length Within Range - Decode Code 128 symbols with a specific length range. Select lengths using
the barcodes in Numeric Barcodes. 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 on page 426.
• Any Length - Decode Code 128 symbols containing any number of characters within the scanner’s
capability.
NOTE: When setting lengths, enter a leading zero for single digit numbers.
