Set Lengths for Matrix 2 of 5
Parameter # L1 = 619 (SSI # F1h 6Bh), L2 = 620 (SSI # F1h 6Ch)
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 Matrix 2 of 5 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths
within a specific range. The default is Length Within Range: 4 to 55.
• One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only Matrix 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 Matrix 2 of 5 symbols with 14 characters, scan
Matrix 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 Matrix 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 Matrix 2 of
5 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Matrix 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 Matrix 2 of 5 symbol with a specific
length range. Select lengths using the numeric barcodes in <em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Appendix
G, Numeric Barcodes. For example, to decode Matrix 2 of 5 symbols containing between 4 and 12
characters, first scan Matrix 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 Matrix 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters
within the digital scanner capability.
