2 of 5 Length
Default setting 06
Valid entries 00-98
To read variable length 2 of 5 codes 00
• 2 of 5 is so susceptible to misreads that the RF Terminal adds an additional
safeguard - it can be configured to look for fixed-length data only.
• The default setting of 06 causes the RF Terminal to read only 2 of 5 codes
that are 6 digits in length. To set the RF Terminal to read a different length,
scan any two-digit number from the bar pad table. For example, to change
the RF Terminal to accept an 8-digit bar code, scan 0 then 8 from the bar pad
table. 2 of 5 code must always be an even number of digits so the length
setting must always be an even number.
• Reading variable length I 2of5 or 2 of 5 codes is to be avoided if at all
possible. The 00 setting is supplied for the purposes of reading codes of
unknown length, counting the digits and setting the length to the proper
number.
