Discrete 2 of 5
When enabled, Discrete 2 of 5 (D 2 of 5) symbols will be scanned, decoded and transmitted. Set this parameter by scanning either of the bar codes shown below.

Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5
L1 Default:1 Discrete Length: 12
L2 Default : 12
Lengths for D 2 of 5 may be set for:
•any length,
•one or two discrete lengths,
•or lengths within a specific range.
The length of a code refers to the number of characters, including check digits, the code contains.
See the table titled ASCII Character Equivalents (page
One Discrete Length (Parameter L1)
This option decodes only those codes containing a selected length. For example, when you want to scan only D 2 of 5 symbols containing 14 characters, scan the “D 2 of 5 One Discrete Length” bar code and then “1” and “4” bar codes using the bar codes on the Keypad Number Symbols (page
To begin setting one discrete length, scan this bar code:
Next, scan two numeric bar codes that correspond to the desired value. Single digit numbers must have a leading zero. If you wish to change your number selection, scan Cancel on the Keypad Number Symbols page.
