12 - 36 Symbol LS3408 Product Reference Guide
Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5 (continued)
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. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.
D 2 of 5 - Two Discrete Lengths
Length Within Range - Select this option to decode an D 2 of 5 symbol within a specific length range. Select
lengths using the 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 (enter a leading zero for single digit numbers). In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel
on page D-3.
D 2 of 5 - Length Within Range
Any Length - Select this option to decode D 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within the
scanner capability.
D 2 of 5 - Any Length
NOTE 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 transmit as a complete scan, yielding less data than is encoded in the bar code. To prevent
this, Motorola recommends selecting specific lengths (D 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, Two Discrete
Lengths) for D 2 of 5 applications.
