Interleaved 2/5 (I-2/5), German I-2/5 and ITF-14

data field

Interleaved 2/5: Enter the characters for the bar

 

code data. A null data field (no characters) is

 

permitted. The length of the data field is variable;

 

however, the maximum length is usually limited to

 

32 characters to minimize potential reading errors.

 

An even number of characters are required for the

 

interleaving process. Consequently, if an odd

 

number of characters are entered in the data field,

 

a leading zero is added automatically. The

 

characters available for the data field are 0 through

 

9 (30 through 39 hex, respectively).

 

German I-2/5:The data field must be 11 or 13

 

digits exactly.

 

ITF-14:The data field must be 13 digits exactly.

PDF

Optional parameter to enable printing of the human

 

readable data field. Enter PDF to print the data

 

field. If the parameter is not used, the human

 

readable data is not printed. This parameter is not

 

allowed if a null data field was specified. For

 

German I-2/5, fields of the data are separated by

 

dots and spaces.

LOC

Optional parameter to identify the location of the

 

printable data field. The default value is B, locating

 

the human readable data below the bar code. A

 

locates the printable data field above the bar code.

 

To compensate for printing the 0.1-inch high data,

 

the height of the bar code body is reduced 0.1-inch.

FONT

Optional parameter to select the font for the human

 

readable data field. Enter O to select OCR-A font;

 

enter X to select OCR-B font; enter N to select 10

 

cpi; enter P to select 12 cpi; enter Q to select 13

 

cpi; enter R to select 15 cpi; enter T to select 17 cpi;

 

enter V to select 20 cpi.

STOP

Ends the Bar Code command while the IGP

 

continues in the Create Form mode. Enter STOP. If

 

STOP is not entered, an error message results.
