Symbol Length (Code 39)
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 scanner will recognize
(this does not include start and stop and check digit characters). The
scanner ignores any symbol not having the specified length.

Full ASCII Set (Code 39)
Usage: Must be enabled when reading characters outside the standard character
set (0-9, A-Z, etc.)
User must know in advance whether or not to use Full ASCII Set option.
Since Full ASCII Set requires two symbol words to encode one charac-
ter, it is less efficient.
Definition: Standard Code 39 encodes 43 characters; zero through nine, capital "A"
through capital "Z", minus symbol, plus symbol, forward slash, space, dec-
imal point, dollar sign and percent symbol. When Full ASCII Set is
enabled, the reader can read the full ASCII character set, from 0 to 255.
