Code 128 Set Length 1

This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for

Code 128 Length Control

. Length

1 is the minimum label length if in

Variable Length

Mode, or the first fixed length if in

Fixed Length

Mode. Length includes the barcode’s data characters only.

The length can be set from 1 to 80 characters.

Follow these instructions to set this feature:

1. Determine the desired character length (from 1 to 80). Pad the number with leading

zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.

2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming

Mode.

3. Scan the barcode: SELECT CODE 128 LENGTH 1 SETTING.

4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in

Appendix E, Keypad

, that represent

the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indi-
cation after the last character.

5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming

Mode.

This completes the procedure. See

Table 23

for some examples of how to set this feature.

NOTE

If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
