3.8.1 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. Set 
lengths for D 2 of 5 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths 
within a specific range. The default is One Discrete Length: 12.   
Note: When setting lengths, enter a leading zero for single digit numbers. 
 
Scan one of the following bar codes to select a length option: 
• One Discrete Length - Decode only D 2 of 5 symbols containing a 
selected length. Select the length using the bar 
codes in Appendix B, Numeric Bar Codes. For 
example, to decode only D 2 of 5 symbols with 14 
characters, scan D 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, 
and then scan 1, 4. To correct an error or change 
the selection, scan Cancel. 
• Two Discrete Lengths - Decode only D 2 of 5 symbols containing either of 
two lengths. Select lengths using the bar codes 
in Appendix B, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, 
to decode only D 2 of 5 symbols containing either 
2 or 14 characters, scan D 2 of 5 - Two Discrete 
Lengths, and then scan 0, 2, 1, 4. To correct an 
error or change the selection, scan Cancel.
