Product Reference Guide

This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for 

Codabar Length Control

. Length 2 is the 

maximum label length if in 

Variable Length

 Mode, or the second fixed length if in 

Fixed Length

Mode. The 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. A setting of 0 specifies to ignore this length (only 
one fixed length).

Follow these instructions to set this feature:

1. Determine the desired character length (from 3 to 50 — or 0 to ignore this length). 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 2 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 indica-
tion after the last character.

5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming 

Mode.

This completes the procedure. See Table
