Also known as I2of5, this is a numeric-only bar code that prints out a little larger than the UPC-A bar code when 10 digits are encoded.
This symbology has the flexibility to encode any even number of digits. If you have an odd number, a leading zero is added.
This bar code is an excellent candidate for numeric-only applications, and it is the best symbology to use for fixed-mount readers.
Because Interleaved 2 of 5 is prone to substitution errors, you should always use a checksum.
