A setting of 0 specifies to ignore this length (onlyone fixed length).Follow these instructions to set this feature:1. Determine the desired character length (from 3 to 50 — or 0 to ignore this length). Padthe 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 ProgrammingMode.3. Scan the barcode: SELECT CODABAR LENGTH 2 SETTING.4.
