3.7.1 Set Lengths for Interleaved 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 I 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 I 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 I 2 of 5 symbols with 14 characters, 
scan I 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 I 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 I 2 of 5 symbols containing either 
2 or 14 characters, scan I 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 I 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 I 2 of 5 symbols containing between 4 
and 12 characters, scan I 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 I 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters 
within the engine’s capability
