Interleaved 2 Of 5 - Microscan MS-4 User Manual

Interleaved 2 of 5

Interleaved 2 of 5

Usage: I-2/5 has been popular because it is the most dense symbology for printing
numeric characters less than 10 characters in length; however, Microscan
does not recommend this symbology for any new applications because of
inherent problems such as truncation.
Definition: A dense, contimuous, self-checking, numeric symbology. Characters are
paired together so that each character has five elements, two wide and
three narrow, representing numbers 0 through 9, with the bars representing
the first character and the interleaved spaces representing the second
character. (A check digit is highly recommended).
Important: You must set Symbol Length in order to decode I-2/5 symbols,
unless Range Mode is enabled.
Serial Cmd: <K472,status,check digit status,check digit output status,symbol length

Default: Disabled
Options:

Check Digit Status (Interleaved 2 of 5)
Usage: This option is not typically used, but it can be enabled for additional security
in applications where the host requires redundant check digit verification.
Definition: An error correcting routine in which the check digit character is added.
Serial Cmd: <K472,status,check digit

Default: Disabled
Options:

Check Digit Output Status (Interleaved 2 of 5)
Definition: When enabled, a check digit character is sent along with the symbol data
for added data security.
