Interleaved 2 of 5 (I 2 of 5) — cont.
I 2 of 5 Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for
I 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 I 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.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See
Table 28
for some examples of how to set this feature.

NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
