Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF)
Enable/Disable Interleaved 2 of 5
Parameter # 6
To enable or disable Interleaved 2 of 5, scan the appropriate bar code below, and select an Interleaved 2 of 5
length from the following pages.
Set Lengths for Interleaved 2 of 5
Parameter # L1 = 22, L2 = 23
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 default option is Length Within Range, 6 to 55.
•
One Discrete Length - Decode only I 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected length. Select the length
using the bar codes in Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols
with 14 characters, scan I 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, and then scan 1, 4. To correct an error or to
change the selection, scan Cancel on page G-2.
•
Two Discrete Lengths - Decode only I 2 of 5 symbols containing either of two lengths. Select lengths
using the bar codes in Appendix G, 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, and then scan 0, 2, 1, 4.
To correct an error or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page G-2.
•
Length Within Range - Decode I 2 of 5 symbols with a specific length range. Select lengths using
bar codes in Appendix G, 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, and then scan 0, 4, 1, 2. To
correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page G-2.
•
Any Length - Decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within the digital scanner’s
capability.

NOTE When setting lengths, enter a leading zero for single digit numbers.
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.
