I 2 of 5 Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for I 2 of 5 Length Control. Length 2 is the 
maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if in Fixed Length 
Mode. The length includes the barcode’s check and data characters.
The length can be set from 2 to 50 characters. A setting of 0 sp
ecifies to ignore this length (only 
one fixed length).
Table 9 provides examples for setting Length 2. See page 303 for detailed instructions on setting 
this feature.
