Interleaved 2 Of 5 (Itf); Set Lengths For I 2 Of 5 - Honeywell Marathon User Manual

Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF)

When enabled, Interleaved 2 of 5 (I 2 of 5) symbols will be scanned, decoded and transmitted.
Set this parameter by scanning either of the bar codes shown below.

Set Lengths for I 2 of 5

Lengths for Interleaved 2 of 5 may be set for:
• any length,
• one or two discrete lengths,
• or lengths within a specific range.
The length of a code refers to the number of characters, including check digits, the code contains.
See ASCII Character Equivalents
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 (using I 2 of 5 – One Discrete Length and I 2 of 5 Two Discrete Lengths) for I 2 of 5 applications.
One Discrete Length (Parameter L1)
This option decodes only those codes containing a selected length. For example, when you want to scan only I 2 of 5
symbols containing 14 characters, scan the "I 2 of 5 One Discrete Length" bar code and then "1" and "4" bar codes
using Imager Keypad Number Symbols
To begin setting one discrete length, scan this I 2 of 5 One Discrete Length bar code:
Next, scan two numeric bar codes that correspond to the desired value. Single digit numbers must have a leading zero.
To correct an error or to change a selection, scan Cancel on the Imager Keypad Number Symbols page.
Two Discrete Lengths (Parameter L2)
This option decodes only those codes containing two selected lengths. For example, when you want to scan only I 2 of
5 symbols containing 2 or 14 characters, scan the "I 2 of 5 Two Discrete Lengths" bar code and then "0", "2", "1" and "4"
bar codes using Imager Keypad Number Symbols
To begin setting two discrete lengths, scan this I 2 of 5 Two Discrete Lengths bar code:
