Codabar Set Length 1
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for 
Codabar Length Control
. Length 1 
is the minimum label length if in 
Variable Length
 Mode, or the first fixed length if in 
Fixed Length
 Mode. Length includes the barcode’s start, stop, check and data characters.  
The length must include at least one data character.
The length can be set from 3 to 50 characters.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 3 to 50). Pad the number with leading 
zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming 
Mode.
3. Scan the barcode: SELECT CODABAR LENGTH 1 SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in 
Appendix E, Keypad
, that represent 
the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indi-
cation after the last character.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming 
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See 
Table 29
 for some examples of how to set this feature.
Table 29. Codabar Length 1 Setting Examples
NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
