Set Lengths for Interleaved 2 of 5
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s)
the code contains. Lengths for I 2 of 5 may be set for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a
specific range.
Note: When setting lengths, single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero.
One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only those codes containing a selected length. For example,
select I 2 of 5 One Discrete Length, then scan 1, 4, to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols containing 14 characters.
Numeric bar codes begin on page 51. To change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan the Cancel bar
code on page 51.
I 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length
Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only those codes containing two selected lengths. For example,
select I 2 of 5 Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 6, 1, 4, to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols containing 6 or 14
characters. Numeric bar codes begin on page 51. To change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan the
Cancel bar code on page 51.
I 2 of 5 - Two Discrete Lengths
Length Within Range - Select this option to decode only codes within a specified range. For example, to decode I
2 of 5 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan I 2 of 5 Length Within Range, then scan 0, 4, 1
and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero). Numeric bar codes begin on page 51. To
change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan the Cancel bar code on page 51.
I 2 of 5 - Length Within Range
Any Length - Scan this option to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters.
Note: Selecting this option may lead to misdecodes for I 2 of 5 codes.
