Codabar Fixed Length

Most scanners shipped from the factory are set to read variable length labels for Codabar. If you switch from variable to fixed length labels, the factory set fixed label lengths are 14 and 08. Follow the steps below to change these defaults.

Enable Fixed

1. Identify the fixed length settings you want to make.

2. Scan the SET label.

3. Scan the SET FIRST FIXED LENGTH label.

Setting Lengths

If you are setting a length less than ten, you must scan a zero first and then the length digit (02, ...09).

4. Set the first fixed length label by scanning the correct digits from the next page. The selectable range is from 03 to 50 * digits.

If you need to set a second fixed length, continue with step five. If you do not need to set a second fixed length, scan the NO SECOND FIXED LENGTH label below and skip to step seven.
