•
One Discrete 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 D, Numeric Bar Codes . For example, to
decode only I 2 of 5 symbols with 14 characters, scan I 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length , then scan 1
followed by 4 . To correct an error or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-2 .
•
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 D, Numeric Bar Codes . For
example, to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select I 2 of 5 - Two
Discrete Lengths , then scan 0 , 2 , 1 , and then 4 . To correct an error or to change the selection,
scan Cancel on page D-2 .
•
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 D, Numeric Bar Codes . For example, to
decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan I 2 of 5 - Length Within
Range . Then scan 0 , 4 , 1, and 2 (enter a leading zero for single digit numbers). To correct an error or
change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-2 .
•
Any Length - Scan this option to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within the
digital scanner’s capability.
NOTE 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 transmit 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.
