Fixed Symbol Length Status (Codabar)
Usage: Restricting symbol lengths can help prevent truncations and increase
data integrity by ensuring that only one or a defined range of symbol
lengths will be accepted.
Definition: When set to Fixed, the reader will check the symbol length against the
Symbol Length field. When set to Any/Minimum, any length is consid-
ered a valid symbol. The following rules apply:
Serial Cmd: <K471,status,start & stop match status,start & stop output status,large
intercharacter
digit type,check digit output status>
Default: Any/Minimum
Options: 0 = Disabled
Symbol Length (Codabar)
Definition: Specifies the exact number of characters that the scanner will recognize
(this does not include start and stop and check digit characters). The
scanner ignores any symbol not having the specified length.
Serial Cmd: <K471,status,start & stop match status,start & stop output status,large
intercharacter gap,fixed symbol length
type,check digit status,check digit output status>
Default: 10
Options: 1 to 64
Note: Fixed Symbol Length Status must be enabled for Symbol Length to take effect.
Note: Because of symbology limitations, setting Symbol Length to any number less
than four will produce undetermined results.
