oSetting 2 requires that the last digit in your bar code conform to the specifications for the 2 of 5 check digit calculation. See Appendix H: 2 of 5 Code for more information.
oTransmission of the check digit (3) requires the use of setting 2 and will transmit the check digit along with the bar code data
to the computer.
o2 of 5 is so susceptible to misreads that the TriCoder adds an additional safeguard - it can be configured to look for fixed-
length data only.
oThe default setting of 06 causes the TriCoder to read only 2 of 5 codes that are 6 digits in length. To set the TriCoder to read a different length, enter any
must always be an even number.
oReading variable length I 2of5 or 2 of 5 codes is to be avoided if at all possible. The 00 setting is supplied for the purposes of reading codes of unknown length, counting the digits and setting the length to the proper number.
