Parameter # 5 (SSI # 05h)
To enable or disable Discrete 2 of 5, scan the appropriate barcode below.
Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5
Parameter # L1 = 20 (SSI # 14h), L2 = 21 (SSI # 15h)
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. The range for Discrete 2 of 5 lengths is 1 - 55.
• One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only D 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected
length. Select the length using the numeric barcodes in <em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Appendix G,
Numeric Barcodes. For example, to decode only D 2 of 5 symbols with 14 characters, scan D 2 of 5
- One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an error or to change the selection,
scan <bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Cancel on page H-1.
• 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 barcodes in
<em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Appendix G, Numeric Barcodes. For example, to decode only 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
<bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Cancel on page H-1.
• Length Within Range - Select this option to decode a D 2 of 5 symbol with a specific length
range. Select lengths using numeric barcodes in <em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Appendix G, Numeric
Barcodes. 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 (enter a leading zero for single digit
numbers). To correct an error or change the selection, scan <bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Cancel on
page H-1.
• Any Length - Scan this option to decode D 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters
within the digital scanner capability.
