Set Lengths for Code 93
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 93 to any length, one or two
discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range.
• One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only Code 93 symbols containing a
selected length. Select the length using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar
Codes. For example, to decode only Code 93 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 93 - One
Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an error or to change the selection, scan
Cancel barcode.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only Code 93 symbols containing either
of two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric
Bar Codes. For example, to decode only those Code 93 symbols containing either 2 or 14
characters, select Code 93 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an
error or to change the selection, scan Cancel barcode.
• Length Within Range - Select this option to decode a Code 93 symbol with a specific length
range. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For
example, to decode Code 93 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Code
93 - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (single digit numbers must always be
preceded by a leading zero). To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel barcode.
• Any Length - Scan this option to decode Code 93 symbols containing any number of
characters within the decoder's capability.
