ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5)

 

Syntax

ITF(string_value, check_digit)

Description

Calculates an Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code

Parameter description

string_value

The value represented by the bar code

check_digit

Optional, enter "True" if you want to add a check digit

 

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.
