INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5
The Interleaved 2 of 5 symbology has the following programmable features:
Check Digit — calculate the Check Digit to verify that the Check Digit contained in the barcode label is correct. If you enable this feature, your barcodes must contain a Check Digit.
You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit independent of whether the Check Digit is calculated by the scanner. If you choose to Transmit Check Digit, but not calculate, the scanner sends the Check Digit encoded in the barcode without verifying its accuracy. If you choose Don't Transmit Check Digit, the scanner will remove the Check Digit's contents before sending the barcode data to the host.
Label Format — provides the selection between fixed or variable length labels. If your application has labels with specific fixed lengths, we recommend selecting fixed lengths to improve read rate and avoid short reads.
You can select any valid number of digits for reading specific length labels only. Read the following details for specific Interleaved 2 of 5 limits.
INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5 LABEL LENGTHS
Interleaved 2 of 5 Minimum Label Length — set the mini- mum label length required for I 2/5 labels (not including the check character). This feature is provided to ignore small label segments, reducing the possibility that a portion of a good label is incorrectly seen as an entire label.
Variable Length — If you select variable length, the scanner will recognize labels with an even number of digits between 04 and 50 digits.
Fixed Length — If you select fixed length, there are three labels for programming your scanner to read either one or two fixed lengths. The labels are:
•Set First Fixed Length — use this label to instruct the scanner that the next two programming labels you scan will define the first fixed label length. This setting can be any even number of digits between 04 and 50 digits.
