12 - 32 Symbol LS3408 Product Reference Guide
Set Lengths for Interleaved 2 of 5 (continued)
Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows the scanner to decode only those I 2 of 5 symbols containing
either of two selected lengths. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes beginning on

characters, select I 2 of 5 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. In case of an error, or to
change the selection, scan Cancel on
Length Within Range - This option allows the scanner to decode an I 2 of 5 symbol with a specific length
range. The length range is selected from numeric bar codes beginning on
Bar Codes.
For example, to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan I 2 of 5
- Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading
zero). In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on
Any Length - This option allows the scanner to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters
within the scanner capability.
NOTE Due to the construction of the I 2 of 5 symbology, it is possible for a scan line covering only a portion of the
code to be interpreted as a complete scan, yielding less data than is actually encoded in the bar code. To
prevent this from happening, it is recommended that specific lengths (I 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length - Two
Discrete Lengths) be selected for I 2 of 5 applications.
