Datalogic 2 of 5 Set Length 1
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Datalogic 2 of 5 Length Control.
Length 1 is the minimum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the first fixed
length if in Fixed Length Mode. The length includes the barcode’s check and data char-
acters.
The length can be set from 2 to 50 characters in increments of two.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 2 to 50). The length must be an
even number.
2. Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05,
20 = 20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Program-
ming Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT I 2 of 5 LENGTH 1 SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad, that rep-
resent the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a
two-beep indication after the last character.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Program-
ming Mode.
This completes the procedure. See Table 27 for some examples of how to set this feature.

NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last character scan the CANCEL barcode to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
