Symbologies 9 - 69
Set Lengths for Interleaved 2 of 5 (Continued)
Length Within Range - This option allows the scanner to decode an I 2 of 5 symbol with a specific length
range. The length range is selected from numeric bar codes beginning on page D-1 in Appendix D, 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. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading
zero). If an error is made or to change a selection, scan Cancel on page D-6.
I 2 of 5 - Length Within Range
Any Length - Scanning this option allows the scanner to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of
characters within the scanner capability.
I 2 of 5 - Any Length
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 be interpreted as a complete scan, yielding less data than is actually encoded in the bar code. To
prevent this from happening, it is recommended that specific lengths (I 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length -
Two Discrete Lengths) be selected for I 2 of 5 applications.
