Motorola DS6707 Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF)

Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF)

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.

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 D, 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 corre ct

an error or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-2.

•

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 D, 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 D-2.

•

Length Within Range - Select this option to decode an I 2 of 5 symbol with a specific length range.

Select lengths using numeric bar c odes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode I 2 of

5 symbols containi ng between 4 and 12 characters, first scan I 2 of 5 - Length Within Range. Then scan 0,

4, 1, and 2 (enter a leading zero for single digit numbers). To correct an error or change th e selecti on,

scan Cancel on page D-2.

•

Any Length - Scan this option to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within the

digital imager scanner’s 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 transmit 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.
