Set Lengths for Code 93
Parameter # L1 = 26 (SSI # 1Ah), L2 = 27 (SSI # 1Bh)
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 93 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths
within a specific range. The default is 1 to 55.
• One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only Code 93 symbols containing a selected
length. Select the length using the numeric barcodes in <em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Appendix G,
Numeric Barcodes. For example, to decode only Code 93 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 93
- One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an error or to change the selection,
scan <bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Cancel on page H-1.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only Code 93 symbols containing either of
two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric barcodes in
<em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Appendix G, Numeric Barcodes. For example, to decode only Code 93
symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Code 93 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan
0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an error or to change the selection, scan
<bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Cancel on page H-1.
• Length Within Range - Select this option to decode a Code 93 symbol with a specific length
range. Select lengths using the numeric barcodes in <em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Appendix G,
Numeric Barcodes. 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 (enter a leading
zero for single digit numbers). To correct an error or change the selection, scan
<bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Cancel on page H-1.
• Any Length - Scan this option to decode Code 93 symbols containing any number of characters
within the digital scanner capability.
