8 Set up the symbology parameters
Code 128 / EAN 128
Common parameter settings—Barcode length
Barcode length (number of characters) for Code 128 / EAN 128 = [barcode data]. The minimum length
possible is 1 character.
Code 128 / EAN 128 does not use the same number of characters to code alphanumerical data and
numerical data. If the MaxiScan 2200 does not read bar codes in your application, this may be due to
unsuitable minimum or fixed lengths—try entering shorter lengths to get round this problem.
For maximum security and to optimize reading performance, we recommend that you use one
of the following parameters with the MaxiScan 2200:
Compose 1 or 2 or 3 Fixed Lengths (the best configuration if the codes in your application
have fixed lengths),
Compose Minimum Length.
Compose different lengths using the special number codes provided at the end of this Installation
Guide and scan End Selection once or twice as required:
minimum length:
Compose Minimum Length
<length>—End Selection
1 fixed length:
Compose 1 or 2 or 3 Fixed Lengths
<length>—End Selection—End Selection
2 fixed lengths:
Compose 1 or 2 or 3 Fixed Lengths
<first length>—End Selection
<second length>—End Selection—End Selection
3 fixed lengths:
