Set Lengths for Code 11The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters),
including check digit(s) the code contains. Lengths for Code 11 may be set for any length,
one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range. discrete lengths, or lengths
within a specific range.
Note:When setting lengths for different bar code types by scanning single
digit numbers, single digit numbers must always be preceded by a
leading zero.
One Discrete Length - This option allows you to decode only those Code 11 symbols
containing a selected length. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes beginning
on page D-1 in Appendix D. For example, to decode only Code 11 symbols with 14
characters, scan Code 11 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. If you make
an error or wish to change your selection, scan Cancel on page D-5.

Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows you to decode only those Code 11 symbols
containing either of two selected lengths. Lengths are selected from the nu meric bar
codes beginning on page D-1 in Appendix D. For example, to decode only those Code 11
symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Code 11 - Two Discrete Lengths,
then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. If you make an error or wish to change your selection,
scan Cancel on page D-5.
