Scan one of the following bar codes to enable or disable Discrete 2 of 5.
Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5
L1 = Parameter # 20
SSI # 14h
L2 = Parameter # 21
SSI # 15h
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 Length Within Range: 1 to 55.
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 on page B-3.
•
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 on page B-3.
•
Length Within Range - Decode D 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 D 2 of 5 symbols containing
between 4 and 12 characters, scan D 2 of 5 - Length Within Range, and then scan 0, 4, 1, 2. To correct an
error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page B-3.
