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 Codabar to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths
within a specific range. The default is 4 to 55.
• One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only Codabar 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 Codabar symbols with 14 characters, scan

<bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Cancel on page H-1.

range. Select lengths using numeric barcodes in <em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Appendix G, Numeric
