Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code
contains. Lengths for D 2 of 5 may be set for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range.
When setting lengths for different bar code types by scanning single digit numbers, single digit numbers
must always be preceded by a leading zero.
One Discrete Length - This option allows decoding of only those D 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected length. Lengths are
selected from the numeric bar codes beginning on page D-1 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. If an error occurs, or to
change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-6.

Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows decoding of only those D 2 of 5 symbols containing either of two selected
lengths. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes beginning on page D-1 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. If an error occurs, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-6.
