Interleaved 2of5:
This symbology encodes a pair of digits in each symbol, the number of digits are
therefore always an even number. Information is carried in the bars and spaces. The
start and stop pattern is not unique inside the code. It is therefore essential to use the
fixed length option to prevent partial reads.
S-Code:
This symbology encodes like Interleaved 2of5 but encodes the last data character as
Industrial 2of5. The number of data digits is therefore always an odd number.
Information is carried in the bars and the spaces. The start and stop pattern is not
unique inside the code. It is therefore essential to use the fixed length option to
prevent partial reads.
Matrix 2of5:
This symbology encodes 1 digit in each character, the number of digits can therefore
be an odd or an even number. Information is carried in the bars and spaces.
Chines Post Matrix 2of5:
This symbology is a variant of Matrix 2of5. To assure proper reads, check the options
and setting for (Matrix) 2of5. For string format of the supported symbologies see
figure 3.27.
Options for code 2of5:

disable transmission of the check digit

enable check digit check

selection of the minimum number of data characters

disable space check for industrial 2of5

transmit S-Code as Interleaved 2of5
Minimum data characters:
Code 2of5 are checked for a minimum of 1, 3 or 5 characters as set by the user. If the
number of characters in the label is less than the number set, the label will be rejected.
If the fixed length option is used for a Code 2of5 type label, than such label will
additionally be checked for fixed length.
