Set Lengths for Code 11

The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains.
Set lengths for Code 11 for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range.
One Discrete Length - This option allows the digital scanner to decode only those Code 11 symbols containing a selected length.
Use the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes to select the length. For example, to decode only Code 11 symbols with
14 characters, scan Code 11 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan
Cancel on page D-5.
Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows the digital scanner to decode only those Code 11 symbols containing either of
two selected lengths. Use the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes to select lengths. For example, to decode only
those Code 11 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Code 11 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and
then 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-5.
Length Within Range - This option allows the digital scanner to decode a Code 11 symbol within a specific length range.
Use the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes to select the length range. For example, to decode Code 11 symbols
containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Code 11 - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (insert a leading zero
for single digit numbers). In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-5.
Any Length - This option allows the digital scanner to decode Code 11 symbols containing any number of characters within the digital
scanner's capability.
