first character and spaces to represent the second; for example, USS-I 2/5. See

Interleaved 2 of 5 Code
A bar code developed by Intermec for Computer Identics that encodes the ten
digits 0 through 9. The name Interleaved 2 of 5 is derived from the method
used to encode two characters. In this symbol, two characters are paired, using
bars to represent the first character and the interleaved spaces to represent the
second character. Each character has two wide elements and three narrow
elements, for a total of five elements. The specification for this bar code is set
forth in MHI/AIR USD-1. It can achieve a maximum density of 7.8 characters
per inch.
key mark/trigger
A code bit that tells the scanner when the code is in position to be read.
