Set Lengths for Interleaved 2 of 5

Parameter # L1 = 16h, L2 = 17h
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.
•
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
of 5 symbols with 14 characters, capture I 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, then capture 1 followed by 4. To
correct an error or to change the selection, capture Cancel on
•
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
example, to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select I 2 of 5 - Two Discrete
Lengths, then capture 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an error or to change the selection, capture
Cancel on page
•
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
5 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first capture I 2 of 5 - Length Within Range. Then
capture 0, 4, 1, and 2 (enter a leading zero for single digit numbers). To correct an error or change the
selection, capture Cancel on
•
Any Length - Capture this option to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within the
imager's 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 transmit as a complete scan, yielding less data than is encoded in the bar code. To prevent this,
select specific lengths (I 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, Two Discrete Lengths) for I 2 of 5 applications.
