Discrete 2 of 5
When enabled, Discrete 2 of 5 (D 2 of 5) symbols will be scanned, decoded and transmitted. Set this parameter by scan-
ning either of the bar codes shown below.
Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5
L1 Default:1 Discrete Length: 12
L2 Default : 12
Lengths for D 2 of 5 may be set for:
• any length,
• one or two discrete lengths,
• or lengths within a specific range.
The length of a code refers to the number of characters, including check digits, the code contains.
See the table titled ASCII Character Equivalents (page 9-2).
One Discrete Length (Parameter L1)
This option decodes only those codes containing a selected length. For example, when you want to scan only D 2
of 5 symbols containing 14 characters, scan the “D 2 of 5 One Discrete Length” bar code and then “1” and “4” bar
codes using the bar codes on the Keypad Number Symbols (page 4-72) page.
To begin setting one discrete length, scan this bar code:
Next, scan two numeric bar codes that correspond to the desired value. Single digit numbers must have a leading
zero. If you wish to change your number selection, scan Cancel on the Keypad Number Symbols page.
