11 - 64 DS2208 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Set Lengths for Matrix 2 of 5
L1 = Parameter # 619
SSI # F1h 6Bh
L2 = Parameter # 620
SSI # F1h 6Ch
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 Matrix 2 of 5 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a
specific range. Minimum and maximum length range is from 0 - 55. The default minimum and maximum length
range is from 4 - 55.
Scan one of the following bar codes to select a length option:
• One Discrete Length - Decode only Matrix 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected length. Select the length
using the bar codes in Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only Matrix 2 of 5 symbols
with 14 characters, scan Matrix 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, and then scan 1, 4. To correct an error or
change the selection, scan Cancel on page G-3.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Decode only Matrix 2 of 5 symbols containing either of two lengths. Select
lengths using the bar codes in Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only Matrix 2 of 5
symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, scan Matrix 2 of 5 - Two Discrete Lengths, and then scan
0, 2, 1, 4. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page G-3.
• Length Within Range - Decode Matrix 2 of 5 symbols with a specific length range. Select lengths using
the bar codes in Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode Matrix 2 of 5 symbols
containing between 4 and 12 characters, scan Matrix 2 of 5 - Length Within Range, and then scan 0, 4, 1,
2. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page G-3.
NOTE The maximum number of 1D bar code characters readable with scanner depends on the type of
symbology, type of characters (i.e., digits or letters), printing density, and quality. For reference, the
DS2208 reads 3.1 in wide, 10mil 1D bar codes printed with 1200dpi resolution and 80% contrast.
NOTE When setting lengths, enter a leading zero for single digit numbers.
