Set Lengths for Code 11

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 11 may be set for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a
specific range.
One Discrete Length - This option allows the scanner to decode only those Code 11 symbols containing a
selected length. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For
example, to decode only Code 11 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 11 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1
followed by 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.
Code 11 - One Discrete Length
Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows the scanner to decode only those Code 11 symbols containing
either of two selected lengths. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar
Codes. For example, to decode only those Code 11 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Code 11 -
Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan
Cancel on page D-3.
Code 11 - Two Discrete Lengths
Length Within Range - This option allows the scanner to decode a Code 11 symbol with a specific length
range. The length range is selected from numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example,
to decode Code 11 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Code 11 - Length Within
Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (insert a leading zero for single digit numbers). In case of an error, or to change
the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.
Code 11 - Length Within Range
Any Length - This option allows the scanner to decode Code 11 symbols containing any number of characters
within the scanner capability.
