Code 39 Length Control
This feature specifies whether variable-length or fixed-length decoding
will be set for Code 39.
To set this feature:
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
2. Scan your selection from the bar codes 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. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH
bar code.
CODE 39 LENGTH CONTROL = VARIABLE-LENGTH
CODE 39 LENGTH CONTROL = FIXED-LENGTH
NOTE
If variable-length control was selected, you must now set the features Code
39 Maximum Label Length and Code 39 Minimum Label Length. If fixed-
length control was selected, you must now set Code 39 Fixed Length 1 and
Code 39 Fixed Length 2.
When using variable length stitching, it is important to enable Code 39 Check
Character Calculation to prevent misreads.
