Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF) (I)

Syntax :

I[:[mini.no.digits[-max.no.digits]][CD][;[1stchara[2ndchara]]]

[,[mini.no.digits[-max.no.digits]][CD][;[1stchara[2ndchara]]]]

[,[mini.no.digits[-max.no.digits]][CD][;[1stchara[2ndchara]]]]]

where

mini.no.digits and max.no.digits are the minimum and maximum

numbers of digits for bar codes to be read by the BHT, respectively.

They should be a numeral from 2 to 99 and should satisfy the following condi-

tion:

mini.no.digits ≤ max.no.digits

If both of mini.no.digits and max.no.digits are omitted, then the

default reading range is from the minimum number of digits specified in Sys-

tem Mode up to 99 digits. If only max.no.digits is omitted, the BHT can

only read the number of digits specified by mini.no.digits.

CD is a check digit. Specifying a C to CD makes the Interpreter check bar

codes with MOD-10. The check digit is included in the number of digits.

OPEN "BAR:" AS #1 CODE "I:6-10C"

To specify multi-line code scanning, the above syntax should be preceded by

an ampersand (&) and should be repeated by the number of lines of codes to

be scanned. In the above syntax, the semicolon (;) and the following take

effect only in multi-line code scanning. 1stchara or 2ndchara is a

numeral from 0 to 9 specifying the first or second character of a bar code to be

scanned. (For detailed specifications of multi-line code scanning, refer to the

Multi-line code scanning

given on page 277.)

Example: To scan 2 lines of ITF codes, write as follows:

OPEN "BAR:" AS #1 CODE "&","I:;12","I:;23"

OPEN "BAR:" AS #1 CODE "&","I:;12,;23"
