I 2 of 5 Set Length 1
This feature specifies one of the bar code lengths for
I 2 of 5 Length Control
. Length 1
is the minimum label length if in
Variable Length
Mode, or the first fixed length if in
Fixed Length
Mode. The length includes the bar code’s check and data characters.
The length can be set from 2 to 50 characters in increments of two.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 2 to 50). The length must be an even num-
ber.
2. Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20,
etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SELECT I 2 of 5 LENGTH 1 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
If you make a mistake before the last character scan the CANCEL bar
code to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at
the beginning.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See
Table 27
for some examples of how to set this feature.
