Siemens 9016, 9014, 9015 E manual Out of 5 Interleaved

2 out of 5 Interleaved Barcodes

2 out of 5 Interleaved

The character complement of the 2 out of 5 Interleaved code comprises:

–10 digits: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

–Start/stop characters: :/; </=

The number of characters is variable but must be even. If the number of characters is odd, a 0 is prefixed to make it even.

The start/stop characters are programmed with the characters : and ;. Alternatively, the characters < and = can be used as start/stop characters.

In the plain text line, the characters : and ; or < and = are printed for start/stop.

The symbol layout is self-checking. A check digit is not required. If a check digit is to be used, it must be programmed in the application (and must be modulo 10 with a weighting of 3).

The ratio of wide to narrow elements should be between 2.0 and 3.0. A ratio of 2.5 is recom- mended for applications.

The blank zone before and after the barcode symbol should be at least 10 times the width of a narrow element.
