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 I 2 of 5 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific
range.
• One Dis
One Dis One Dis One Discrete Length crete Length crete Length crete Length - Select this option to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected length. Select the
length using the numeric bar codes in Appendix A, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only I 2 of 5
symbols with 14 characters, scan I 2 of 5
I 2 of 5 I 2 of 5 I 2 of 5 ---- One Discrete Length One Discrete Length One Discrete Length One Discrete Length, then scan 1 1 1 1 followed by 4 4 4 4. To correct an error or
change a selection, scan Cancel Cancel Cancel Cancel from Appendix A.
• Two Discrete Lengths Two Discrete Lengths Two Discrete Lengths Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols containing either of two selected lengths.
Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix A, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only those I
2 of 5 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select I 2 of 5
I 2 of 5 I 2 of 5 I 2 of 5 ---- Two Discrete Lengths Two Discrete Lengths Two Discrete Lengths Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0 0 0 0, 2 2 2 2, 1 1 1 1, and
then 4 4 4 4. To correct an error or change a selection, scan Cancel Cancel Cancel Cancel from Appendix A.
• Length Within Range
Length Within Range Length Within Range
Length Within Range - Select this option to decode an I 2 of 5 symbol with a specific length range. Select lengths
using numeric bar codes in Appendix A, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing
between 4 and 12 characters, first scan I 2 of 5

numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero). To correct an error or change a selection, scan Cancel Cancel Cancel Cancel from
Appendix A.
• Any Length

Any Length - Scan this option to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within the decoder
capability.
Due to the construction of the I 2 of 5 symbology, it is possible for a scan line covering only a portion of the code to
be interpreted as a complete scan, yielding less data than is encoded in the bar code. To prevent this, select specific
lengths (I 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length - Two Discrete Lengths) for I 2 of 5 applications.
I 2 of 5 – One Discrete Length
I 2 of 5 – Two Discrete Lengths
