1D Symbologies
9-12
MS-860 Industrial Raster Reader User’s Manual
Symbol Length #1
Symbol Length #2
Important: When setting Symbol Length to any number other than 0, add 1
to account for
a reserved space. For example, if your symbol has
3 characters, set Symbol Length to 4.
Usage:
With I–2/5, two symbol lengths can be defined. When using only one
symbol length in an application, setting
Symbol Length #2 to 0 (zero)
to ensure data integrity is recommended.
Definition:
Allows user to define the symbol length. Because I–2/5 is a continuous
symbology, it is prone to substitution errors. Hence, a symbol length must
be defined and a symbol must contain an even number of digits.
Note: If start, stop or check digits are used, they are not included in the
symbol length count.

Usage:
If using a second symbol, a zero or any even symbol length from 2 to 64
may be specified. If not using a second symbol, set
Symbol Length #2
to 0 to ensure data integrity.
Definition:
Allows user to define a second symbol length for I–2/5.

Since I–2/5 characters are paired, symbol length must be set to an even
number. If
Check Digit is enabled, add 2 to your symbol length. For
example, if your symbol is 10 characters plus a check digit, then enable
Symbol Length for 12.
Note: Typically, when printing an I–2/5 symbol with an odd number of
digits, a 0 will be added as the first character.

0 to 128
