Scan the END bar code.

1. For this symbology, the scanner will decode up to 50 characters, but the actual length read

will vary depending upon interface type, and bar code physical size and quality. The IBM
POS interface is limited to 32 character labels. Code 93 bar codes containing one or more
shift characters can also limit the amount of characters that will be decoded (in these cir-
cumstances, the scanner will decode at least 39 data characters).

NOTE

If you are setting a label length less than ten, you
must scan a zero digit first and then the length
digit (e.g., 04, 06, 08).
