Code 128 Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Code 128 Length Control. Length 2 is the maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if in Fixed Length Mode. Length includes the barcode’s data characters only.
The length can be set from 1 to 80 characters. A setting of 0 specifies to ignore this length (only one fixed length).
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1.Determine the desired character length (from 1 to 80 — or 0 to ignore this length). Pad the number with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2.Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.
3.Scan the barcode: SELECT CODE 128 LENGTH 2 SETTING.
4.Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad, that represent the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
NOTE
5.Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming Mode.
This completes the procedure. See Table 24 for some examples of how to set this feature.
