Code 39 Minimum Label Length

This feature specifies the minimum allowable length of a Code 39 label.

 

Length in this case includes check, data and ASCII characters, but does

 

not include start, or stop characters. This feature applies when Code 39

 

Length Control is set to variable-length decoding.

NOTE

Minumum label length should be less than or equal to maximum label

length.

 

To set this feature:

1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.

2. Scan the bar code, SET CODE 39 MINIMUM LABEL LENGTH below. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.

3. Scan the appropriate digits from the keypad in Appendix C that represent the desired minimum label length. The selectable range for this option is 00 to 50. Pad all single digit numbers with a leading zero to yield a two-digit entry (00-50).

4. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH bar code.
