Symbologies 13-69
Set Lengths for Interleaved 2 of 5 (continued)Length Within Range - This option allows decoding of 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
symbol s conta ining between 4 and 1 2 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 occurs, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-8.
I 2 of 5 - Length Within Range
Any Length - Scanning this option allows decoding of 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 actually encoded in the bar code. To
prevent this from happening, it is strongly recommended that specific lengths (I 2 of 5 - One Discrete
Length - Two Discrete Lengths) be selected for I 2 of 5 applications.
