Interleaved 2 of 5 is a
higher-density numeric symbology based upon the Industrial 2 of 5 symbology. It
is suitable for encoding general purpose all-numeric data and is used primarily
in the distribution and warehouse industry. Interleaved 2 of 5 is essentially
identical to Industrial 2 of 5 except for the fact that Interleaved 2 of 5
encodes information in both the bars and spaces while Standard 2 of 5 only
encodes information in the bars. However, the encoding scheme is the same for
both in terms of their use of wide and narrow elements for each element.

In order to get an Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF 2/5) barcode image,
please follow these steps:
-
Set the Symbology property to Interleaved2of5
-
Setting up dimensions and quiet zones:
-
Set the BarWidth and BarHeight properties (Values are expressed
in Inches)
-
Set the QuietZoneWidth property (Value is expressed in Inches)
-
Set the TopMargin and BottomMargin properties (Values are
expressed in Inches)
-
Set the Code property with the value to encode. Only numeric values are
supported by this Symbology. The number of digits to encode (with or without
the checksum) must be even, otherwise 0 (zero) will be added at the beginning
of the value to encode.
-
Setting up the Bearer Bars if needed:
-
Set the BearerBarStyle property to Frame, or HorizontalRules
-
Set the BearerBarWidth property (Value is expressed in Inches)
-
Barcode Professional will automatically generate and append the checksum value
-
Tip 1: You can disable this behavior by setting up to False the AddChecksum
property
-
Tip 2: You can leave AddChecksum property set to True but
rid of the checksum value from the Human Readable text by setting up to False
the DisplayChecksum property
