Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF)
Enable/Disable Interleaved 2 of 5
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
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.
• One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected length. Select
the length using the numeric bar codes in
Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes . For example, to decode only I 2 of
5 symbols with 14 characters, scan I 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an
error or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page
C-4.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols containing either of two selected
lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in
Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes . For example, to decode
only those I 2 of 5 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select I 2 of 5 - Two Discrete Lengths, then
scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an error or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page
C-4 .
• Length Within Range - Select this option to decode an I 2 of 5 symbol with a specific length range.
Select lengths using numeric bar codes in
Appendix C, 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). To correct an error or change the
selection, scan Cancel on page
C-4 .
• Any Length - Scan this option to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within the
scanner capability.
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 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.
