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 num-
ber.
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 Programming
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 represent
the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indi-
cation after the last character.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.

This completes the procedure. See Table 27 for some examples of how to set this feature.
