Datalogic Scanning 8500 Code 128 Maximum Label Length

Code 128 Maximum Label Length

This feature specifies the maximum allowable length of a Code 128 label.

	Length in this case includes function characteres and data characters,
	but does not include function code change or check character. This fea-
	ture applies when Code 128 Length Control is set to variable-length
	decoding.
NOTE	Maximum label length should be greater than or equal to minimum label
	length.

To set this feature:

1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.

2. Scan the bar code, SET CODE 128 MAXIMUM 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 maximum label length. The selectable range for this option is 01 to 80. Pad all single digit numbers with a leading zero to yield a two-digit entry (01-80).

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