Set Lengths for Matrix 2 of 5
L1 = Parameter # 619
SSI # F1h 6Bh
L2 = Parameter # 620
SSI # F1h 6Ch
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 Length Within Range: 4 to 55.
Scan one of the following barcodes to select a length option:
• One Discrete Length - Decode only Matrix 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected length. Select the length
using the barcodes in Numeric Barcodes. 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 on page 426.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Decode only Matrix 2 of 5 symbols containing either of two lengths. Select
lengths using the barcodes in Numeric Barcodes. 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 on page 426.
• Length Within Range - Decode Matrix 2 of 5 symbols with a specific length range. Select lengths
using the barcodes in Numeric Barcodes. 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 on page 426.
• Any Length - Decode Matrix 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within the scanner’s
capability.
NOTE: When setting lengths, enter a leading zero for single digit numbers.
