the code contains. Lengths for Code 11 may be set for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a
specific range.

One Discrete Length - This option allows the scanner to decode only those Code 11 symbols containing a
selected length. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes in

Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes

. For

example, to decode only Code 11 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 11 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1
