Set Lengths for Code 11
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s)
the code contains. Set lengths for Code 11 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 11 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 11 symbols with 14 ch aracters, scan Code 11 - 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 11 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 11 symbols containing either 2 or 14 character s, select Code 11 - 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 11 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 Co de 11 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Code 11 - 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 11 symbols containing any number of
characters within the digital scanner’s capability.
