This feature specifies whether variable-length or fixed-length decoding
will be set for Code 128.
To set this feature:

2. Scan your selection from the bar codes below. You’ll need to cover
any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that
the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.
3. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH
bar code.
CODE 128 LENGTH CONTROL = VARIABLE-LENGTH
CODE 128 LENGTH CONTROL = FIXED-LENGTH
NOTE
If variable-length control was selected, you must now set the features
Code 128 Maximum Label Length and Code 128 Minimum
Label Length. If fixed-length control was selected, you must now set
Code 128 Fixed Length 1 and Code 128 Fixed Length 2.
