Symbol Length #1 (Interleaved 2 of 5)
Usage: With I–2/5, two symbol lengths can be defined. When using only one
symbol length in an application, setting Symbol Length #2 to 0 (zero)
to ensure data integrity is recommended.
Definition: Allows user to define the symbol length. Because I 2/5 is a continuous
symbology, it is prone to substitution errors. Hence, a symbol length must
be defined and a symbol must contain an even number of digits.
Note: If start, stop or check digits are used, they are not included in the
symbol length count.
Serial Cmd: <K472,status,check digit status,check digit
#1,symbol length #2>
Default:
10
Options: 2 to 64, even
Since I–2/5 characters are paired, symbol length must be set to an even
number. If Check Digit is enabled, add 2 to your symbol length. For
example, if your symbol is 10 characters plus a check digit, then enable
Symbol Length for 12.
Note: Typically, when printing an I 2/5 symbol with an odd number of
digits, a 0 will be added as the first character.
Symbol Length #2 (Interleaved 2 of 5)
Usage: If using a second symbol, a zero or any even symbol length from 2 to 64
may be specified. If not using a second symbol, set Symbol Length #2
to 0 to ensure data integrity.
Definition: Allows user to define a second symbol length for I–2 of 5.

Options: 2 to 64, even
Since I–2/5 characters are paired, symbol length must be set to an even
number. If Check Digit is enabled, add 2 to your symbol length. For
example, if your symbol is 10 characters plus a check digit, then enable
Symbol Length for 12.
