The length of a code refers to the number of characters (for example, 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 value for Parameter 20 is
.
The default value for Parameter 21 is
The maximum range is 1 - 55.
When setting lengths, enter a leading zero for single digit numbers.
Scan one of the following barcodes to select a length option:
One Discrete Length - Decode only D 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected length.
Two Discrete Lengths - Decode only D 2 of 5 symbols containing either of two lengths.
Length Within Range - Decode D 2 of 5 symbols with a specific length range.
Any Length - Decode D 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within the scanner’s capability.
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 transmit as a complete scan, yielding less data than is encoded in the barcode. To prevent this, select specific lengths (D 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, Two Discrete Lengths) for D 2 of 5 applications.
