Discrete 2 of 5 (DTF)
Enable/Disable Discrete 2 of 5
Parameter # 05h
To enable or disable Discrete 2 of 5, scan the appropriate bar code below.
Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5
Parameter # L1 = 14h, L2 = 15h
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 D 2 of 5 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a
specific range. The range for Discrete 2 of 5 lengths is 0 - 55.

One Discrete Length
- Select this option to decode only D 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected length.
Select the length using the numeric bar codes in

Two Discrete Lengths
- Select this option to decode only D 2 of 5 symbols containing either of
two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar code s in

NOTE
Due to the construction of the D 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 (
D 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, Two Discrete Lengths
) for D 2 of 5
applications.
