Message Length Description; Codabar - Honeywell 1602-B User Manual

Message Length Description

You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies. You may wish to set the same value for min-
imum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09Max. length = 20
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults, scan the bar codes included in the explanation of
the symbology, then scan the digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the
cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

Codabar Check Character
Codabar check characters are created using different "modulos." You can program the scanner to read only Codabar bar
codes with Modulo 16 check characters. Default = No Check Character.
No Check Character indicates that the scanner reads and transmits bar code data with or without a check character.
When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the scanner will only read Codabar bar codes printed with a check
character, and will transmit this character at the end of the scanned data.
