Set Lengths for Code 93
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable charac ters), including check digit(s)
the code contains. Set lengths for Code 93 for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific
range.
One Discrete Length - This option allows the digital scanner to decode only those Code 93 symbols containing a
selected length. Use th e numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes to select the length. For example,
to decode only Code 93 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 93 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed
by 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.
Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows the digital scanner to decode only those Code 93 symbols
containing either of two selected l engths. Us e t he nu me ri c ba r c od e s i n Appendix D, Numeric Bar Cod es to select
lengths. For example, to decode only Code 93 symbols cont aining either 2 or 14 characters, select Code 93 - Two
Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel
on page D-3.
Length Within Range - This option allows the digital scanner to decode a Code 93 symbol within a specific
length range. Use the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes to select the length range. For
example, to decode Code 93 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Code 93 - Length
Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (insert a leading zero for single digit numbers). In case of an error, or to
change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.
Any Length - This op tion allows the digital scanner to decode Code 93 symbols containin g any number of
characters within the digital scanner’s capability.
