Message Length
The message length selection is used to set the valid reading length of the bar code. If
the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading length, the
imager will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and
maximum length to force the imager to read fixed length bar code data. This
configuration helps reduce the chances of a misread.
Example
Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Minimum length = 09
Maximum length = 20
Example
Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Minimum length = 15
Maximum length = 15
In the CBAR/39/128 tab of Visual Menu, enter the minimum message length in the
Minimum Length field and the maximum message length in the Maximum Length field
under Codabar. Click the Write Settings to Device button (
) to send the new setting
to the imager.
