Convert I 2 of 5 to EAN-13

A successful bar code conversion requires the following to be true:

•Interleaved 2 of 5 scanning is enabled.

•One of the I 2 of 5 lengths is set to 14.

•The bar code has a leading zero.

•The bar code has a valid EAN-13 check digit.

When enabled, the parameter converts a 14 character Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code into EAN-13 and transmits it to the host as EAN-13.

Set this parameter by scanning either of the bar codes shown below.

Enable Convert Interleaved 2 of 5 to EAN-13

*Disable Convert Interleaved 2 of 5 to EAN- 13

Set Lengths for I 2 of 5

L1 Default: 14

L2 Default: 14

Lengths for I 2 of 5 may be set for:

•any length,

•one or two discrete lengths,

•or lengths within a specific range.

The length of a code refers to the number of characters, including check digits, the code contains. When settings lengths, single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero.

See the table titled ASCII Character Equivalents (page 9-2).

One Discrete Length (Parameter L1)

This option decodes only those codes containing a selected length. For example, when you want to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing only 14 characters, scan the “I 2 of 5 One Discrete Length” bar code and then the “1” and “4” bar codes using the Keypad Number Symbols (page 4-72).

To begin setting one discrete length, scan this “I 2 of 5 One Discrete Length” bar code:

Next, scan two numeric bar codes that correspond to the desired value. Single digit numbers must have a leading zero. If you wish to change your number selection, scan Cancel on the Keypad Number Symbols page.
