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 Codabar 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 Codabar symbols containing a selected length. Lengths
are selected from the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only Codabar symbols with 14
characters, scan Codabar - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan

those Codabar symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Codabar - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and
