stacked).
Fixed Symbol Length Status (DataBar Expanded)
Definition:
When enabled, the Imager will check the symbol length against the symbol
length field, minus the embedded check digit. If disabled, any length
would be considered valid.

Default:

Fixed Symbol Length (DataBar Expanded)
Usage:
Fixed Symbol Length helps prevent truncations and increases data
integrity by ensuring that only one symbol length will be accepted.
Definition:
Specifies the exact number of characters that the Imager will recognize
(this does not include start, stop, and check digit characters). The Imager
ignores any symbol not having the specified length.
Serial Cmd:
