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.
• One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only D 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected
length. Select the length using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, 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 followed by 4. To correct an error or to change the selection, scan
Cancel barcode.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only D 2 of 5 symbols containing either
of two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric
Bar Codes. For example, to decode only those D 2 of 5 symbols containing either 2 or 14
characters, select D 2 of 5 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an
error or to change the selection, scan Cancel barcode.
• Length Within Range - Select this option to decode a D 2 of 5 symbol with a specific
length range. Select lengths using numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For
example, to decode D 2 of 5 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan D 2
of 5 - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (single digit numbers must always be
preceded by a leading zero). To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel barcode.
• Any Length - Scan this option to decode D 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters
within the decoder capability.
Note: Due to the construction of the D 2 of 5 symbology, it is possible for a scan line covering
only a portion of the code to be interpreted as a complete scan, yielding less data than is
encoded in the bar code. To prevent this, select specific lengths (D 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length
- Two Discrete Lengths) for D 2 of 5 applications.
