Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5
Parameter # L1 = 14h, L2 = 15h
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 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 D, 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 D-3
.
• 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 D, 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 D-3
.
• 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 D, 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 D-3
.
• Any Length
- Scan this option to decode D 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within
the imager’s capability.
