Codabar Minimum Label Length

This feature specifies the minimum allowable length of a Codabar label.

 

Length in this case includes start, stop or check and data characters, but

 

does not include full ASCII shift characters. This feature applies when

 

Codabar Length Control is set to variable-length decoding.

NOTE

Minimum 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 CODABAR 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 03 to 50. Pad all single digit numbers with a leading zero to yield a two-digit entry (03-50).

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