This parameter sets lengths for Code 39.
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (for example, human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 39 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range. If Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled, Length Within Range or Any Length are the preferred options. The default is
Length Within Range: 1 to 55
.
When setting lengths, enter a leading zero for single digit numbers.
  • One Discrete Length - Decode only Code 39 symbols containing a selected length.
  • Two Discrete Lengths - Decode only Code 39 symbols containing either of two lengths.
  • Length Within Range - Decode Code 39 symbols with a specific length range.
  • Any Length - Decode Code 39 symbols containing any number of characters within the scanner’s capability.
Select lengths using barcodes in Numeric Barcodes. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel.
For example:
  • To decode only Code 39 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 39 - One Discrete Length, and then scan 1, 4.
  • To decode only Code 39 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, scan Code 39 - Two Discrete Lengths, and then scan 0, 2, 1, 4.
  • To decode Code 39 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, scan Code 39 - Length Within Range, and then scan 0, 4, 1, 2.
