Datalogic 2 of 5 Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Datalogic 2 of 5 Length Control . Length 2
is the maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if in Fixed
Length Mode. The length includes the barcode’s check and data characters.
The length can be set from 2 to 50 characters. A setting of 0 specifies to ignore this length (only
one fixed length).
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 2 to 50, or 0 to ignore this length). The
length must be an even number.
2. Pad the number with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 =
20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT Datalogic 2 of 5 LENGTH 2 SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad , that represent
the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indi-
cation after the last character.
NOTE
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See Table 34 for some examples of how to set this feature.
