Datalogic 2 of 5 Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Datalogic 2 of 5 Length Control.
Length 2 is the maximum label length if in
Variable Length Mode, or the second 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. A setting of 0 specifies to ignore this length
(only one fixed length).
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 2 to 50, or 0 to ignore this length).
The length must be an even number.
2. Pad the number 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 Datalogic 2 of 5 LENGTH 2 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 28 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.
