Set Lengths for Codabar

Lengths for Codabar may be set for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths
within a specific range. The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human
readable characters) the code contains. It also includes any start or stop characters. See
Table A-4 on page A-8
• One Discrete Length - This option allows you to decode only those codes
containing a selected length. For example, if you select Codabar One Discrete
Length, then scan 1, 4, the only Codabar symbols decoded are those containing
