3.12.1 Set Lengths for Matrix 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 Matrix 2 of 5 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or
lengths within a specific range. The default is One Discrete Length: 14.
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 Matrix 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 Matrix 2 of 5 symbols
with 14 characters, scan Matrix 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 Matrix 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 Matrix 2 of 5 symbols
containing either 2 or 14 characters, scan Matrix
2 of 5 - Two Discrete Lengths, and then scan 0, 2,
1, 4. To correct an error or change the selection,
scan Cancel.
• Length Within Range - Decode Matrix 2 of 5 symbols with a specific
length range. Select lengths using the bar codes
in Appendix B, Numeric Bar Codes. For example,
to decode Matrix 2 of 5 symbols containing
between 4 and 12 characters, scan Matrix 2 of 5
- Length Within Range, and then scan 0, 4, 1, 2.
To correct an error or change the selection, scan
Cancel.
•Any Length - Decode Matrix 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of
characters within the engine’s capability.
