2 of 5 Code
2 OF 5 CODE OPTIONS
INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5 ------- ON/OFF 1
CHECK DIGIT ------------------- ON/OFF 2
TRANSMIT CHECK DIGIT ON/OFF 3
STANDARD 2 OF 5 ------------ ON/OFF 4
2 OF 5 CHECK DIGIT LENGTH -- 06 5
2 DIGITS FROM 00-98
DEFAULT IS 06
TEST MODE ONLY 00
DONE/EXIT --------------------------------
0
CHANGE SETTING #: _
o Setting 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.
o Transmission 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.
o 2 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.
o The 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 two-digit number. 2 of 5 code must always be an even number of digits so the length setting
must always be an even number.
o Reading 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.
Codabar
CODABAR OPTIONS
CODABAR ------------------------ ON/OFF 1
CODABAR CLSI ---------------- ON/OFF 2
START STOP CHAR ----------- ON/OFF 3
DONE/EXIT -------------------------------- 0
CHANGE SETTING #: _
o CLSI is a form of Codabar often used by libraries.
o Setting 3 will transmit the Codabar start and stop characters with the bar code data to your computer. If you are varying the
start and stop characters to differentiate between different labels, transmitting the start and stop can be helpful. See Appendix
J: Codabar for more information.
MSI/Plessey
MSI/PLESSEY
MSI/PLESSEY -------------------- ON/OFF 1

o If you have enabled the Mod 10 or Mod 11 check digits, they will be transmitted along with your bar code data from the
TriCoder to your host.
