Set Lengths for Interleaved 2 of 5 (Continued)
Length Within Range - This option allows you 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. 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 you make an
error or wish to change your selection, scan Cancel on page D-5.
I 2 of 5 - Length Within Range
Any Length - Scanning this option allows you to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing any
number of characters within the scanner capability.
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.
