Set Lengths for Code 93
Parameter # L1 = 0x1A, L2 = 0x1B
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable
characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Lengths for Code 93
may be set for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a
specific range. To set lengths via serial commands, see Setting Code Lengths
Via Serial Commands on page B-6.
One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only those codes
containing a selected length. For example, select Code 93 One Discrete
Length, then scan 1, 4, to limit the decoding to only Code 93 symbols
containing 14 characters. Numeric bar codes begin on page 77. To change the
selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan Cancel on page 78.
Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only those codes
containing two selected lengths. For example, select Code 93 Two Discrete
Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, 4, to limit the decoding to only Code 93 symbols
containing 2 or 14 characters. Numeric bar codes begin on page 77. To change
the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan Cancel on page 78.
Length Within Range - This option sets the unit to decode a code type within
a specified range. For example, to decode Code 93 symbols containing
between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Code 93 Length Within Range, then
scan 0, 4, 1 and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading
zero).
