10 - 32 DS6707 Digital Imager Scanner Product Reference Guide
Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF)

Enable/Disable Interleaved 2 of 5

Parameter # 06h

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.

Set Lengths for Interleaved 2 of 5

Parameter # L1 = 16h, L2 = 17h

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 correct 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 codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to
decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing between 4 and 12 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). To
correct an error or change the selection, 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 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 be interpreted 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.
