Barcode length
Barcode length (number of characters) for Interleaved 2 of 5 = [barcode data + check digit if
applicable]. The minimum length possible is 2 characters.
Interleaved 2 of 5 always encodes an even number of characters. To handle codes with an
odd number of characters, the ScanPlus will accept a code with the last character printed
as 5 narrow bars. In this case, all useful characters are transmitted.
For maximum security, we strongly recommend that you use one of the following
parameters with all ScanPlus products:
Compose 1 or 2 Fixed Lengths (the safest configuration),
Compose Minimum Length.
The Any Length code provides zero security.
Minimum Length = 6 (*)
Compose Minimum Length
Compose different lengths using the special number codes (
back cover of this manual) and scan End Selection once or twice as required:
