Length Control
Fixed Length Decoding—
When fixed length decoding is enabled, the scanner will decode a
barcode if the label length matches one of the configurable fixed lengths.
Variable Length Decoding—
When variable length decoding is enabled, the scanner will
decode a barcode if the label length falls in the range of the configurable minimum and maxi-
mum length.
Configuring Fixed Length Decoding:
1. Scan the START barcode.
2. Scan the Fixed Length Decoding barcode.
3. Scan the END barcode.
4. Set Length 1 to the first fixed length by following the Length 1, Length 2 Programming
Instructions below.
5. Set Length 2 to the second fixed length (or to ‘00’ if there is only one fixed length) by fol-
lowing the PDF 417 Length 1, Length 2 Programming Instructions below.
Configuring Variable Length Decoding:
1. Scan the START barcode.
2. Scan the Variable Length Decoding barcode.
3. Scan the END barcode.
4. Set Length 1 to the minimum length by following the PDF 417 Length 1, Length 2 Pro-
gramming Instructions below.
5. Set Length 2 to the maximum length by following the PDF 417 Length 1, Length 2 Pro-
