Set Lengths for Code 39
L1 Parameter Default Value: 2
L2 Parameter Default Value: 55
Lengths for Code 39 may be set for:
• any length,
• one or two discrete lengths,
• or lengths within a specific range.
The length of a code refers to the number of characters, including check digits, the code contains.
If “Code 39 Full ASCII” is enabled, “Length Within a Range” or “Any Length” are the preferred
options.
See the table titled “ASCII Character Equivalents” at the end of this chapter.
One Discrete Length (Parameter L1)
This option decodes only those codes containing a selected length. For example, when you want
to scan only Code 39 symbols containing 14 characters, scan the “Code 39 One Discrete Length”
barcode and then “1” and “4” barcodes using the “Keypad Number Symbols” at the end of this
chapter.
To begin setting one discrete length, scan this barcode:
Code 39 - One Discrete Length
Next, scan two numeric barcodes that correspond to the desired value. Single digit numbers must
have a leading zero. If you wish to change your number selection, scan Cancel on the “Keypad
Number Symbols” page.
