Matrix 2 of 5 Message Length
The message length selection is used to set the valid reading length of the bar
code. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading
length, the scanner will ignore the symbol and continue scanning. You may wish
to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to
read fixed length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09
Max. length = 20
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15
Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults,
scan the bar codes below, then scan the appropriate value and
Save bar codes
on the Programming Chart inside the back cover. Minimum and Maximum
lengths = 1-80. Defaults are Minimum = 4, Maximum = 80.
If you make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save), scan
Discard on the back cover, scan the
Minimum or Maximum bar code, scan the
correct digits, and Save again.
