The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check
digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 128 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within
a specific range.
• One Discrete Length
- Select this option to decode only Code 128 symbols containing a selected
length. Select the length using the numeric bar codes in
Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes
. For example,
to decode only Code 128 symbols with 14 characters, scan
Code 128 - One Discrete Length
, then scan
1
followed by
4
. To correct an error or change the selection, scan
Cancel on page D-3
.
• Two Discrete Lengths
