Set Lengths for Interleaved 2 of 5
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 I 2 of 5 to
any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range. The
range for Interleaved 2 of 5 lengths is 0 - 55.
One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols
containing a selected length. Select the length using the numeric bar codes in
the Appendix of Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only I 2 of 5
symbols with 14 characters, scan I 2 of 5 – One Discrete Length, then scan 1
followed by 4. To correct an error or to change the selection, scan the Cancel
bar code in Appendix B.
Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols
containing either of two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar
codes in the Appendix of Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only I 2
of 5 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select I 2 of 5 – Two
Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an error or to
change the selection, scan the Cancel bar code in Appendix B.
Length Within Range - Select this option to decode an I 2 of 5 symbol with a
specific length range. Select lengths using numeric bar codes in the Appendix
of Numeric 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 (enter a leading zero for single digit numbers). To correct an
error or change the selection, scan the Cancel bar code in Appendix B.
Any Length - Scan this option to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing any
number of characters within the decoder’s capability.
