Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5
he 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 D 2 of 5 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range.
• One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only D 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected length. Select
the length using the numeric bar codes in
Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes . For example, to decode only D 2 of
5 symbols with 14 characters, scan D 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an
error or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page
C-4.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only D 2 of 5 symbols containing either of two
selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in
Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes . For example,
to decode only those D 2 of 5 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select D 2 of 5 - Two Discrete
Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an error or to change the selection, scan Cancel on
page
C-4 .
• Length Within Range - Select this option to decode a D 2 of 5 symbol with a specific length range.
Select lengths using numeric bar codes in
Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode D 2 of
5 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan D 2 of 5 - 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 on page
C-4 .
• Any Length - Scan this option to decode D 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within the
scanner capability.
Due to the construction of the D 2 of 5 symbology, it is possible for a scan line covering only a
portion of the code to be interpreted as a complete scan, yielding less data than is encoded in the
bar code. To prevent this, select specific lengths (D 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length - Two Discrete
Lengths) for D 2 of 5 applications.
