Set Lengths for Code 39

The 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 39 may be set for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range. If Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled, Length Within a Range or Any Length are the preferred options.

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 39 symbols containing a selected length. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes beginning on page D-1in Appendix D. For example, to decode only Code 39 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 39 - 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.

Code 39 - One Discrete Length

Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows you to decode only those Code 39 symbols containing either of two selected lengths.

If you make an error or wish to change your selection, scan Cancel on page D-5.
