Set Lengths for Matrix 2 of 5
Parameter # L1 = F1h 6Bh, L2 = F1h 6Ch
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 Matrix 2 of 5 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths
within a specific range.
•
One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only Matrix 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 Matrix 2 of 5 symbols with 14 characters, scan Matrix 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 Matrix 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 Matrix 2 of 5 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Matrix 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 a Matrix 2 of 5 symbol with a specific length
range. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes . For example,
to decode Matrix 2 of 5 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Matrix 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 Matrix 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters
within the digital scanner’s capability.
