Complies with ITF, AIM, AIM USS, ANSI, and European (CEN) standards and can also be used to create Identcode & Leitcode barcodes.

You also receive several font encoders, macros, plug-ins, and source code to help with integrating the fonts into your application. Identcode and Leitcode are variants of interleaved 2 of 5 with check digits used by Deutsche Post.With the Interleaved 2 of 5 Font Advantage Package, you receive 48 different ITF font versions (including 6 height sizes, symbol encoded and bearer bar fonts) in 6 different font formats for Windows, Mac, UNIX and a variety of other operating systems. It is optically scanned by many film-processing machines when the cartridge is inserted for developing. The barcode is located between the electrically read silver and black DX Camera Auto-Sensing Code and the film can exit lip. On 135 film (35 mm) canisters, interleaved 2 of 5 is used to identify the manufacturer, the film type, number of exposures and proprietary information in 6 digits. (If the short scan was not recognized as invalid, the misread data would be accepted and used as if it was good data, and there would be no chance to automatically rescan the bar code to correct the bad data.) The bar code can then be re-scanned, either automatically or manually. Since the Bearer Bar is much wider than any legitimate black bar, it will ensure that the short scan cannot appear to begin with the correct start pattern and end with the correct end pattern, forcing an invalid scan. The Bearer Bar prevents this error, as a short scan will pass through the Bearer Bar as it passes across the top or bottom edge of the bar code.

In this way the short scan, though incorrect, may appear to be a correct full scan. Such a "short scan" which does not extend through all of the bars obviously cannot result in a correct read of the complete bar code, but by the nature of the interleaved 2 of 5 code, it is possible for a short scan that begins in the middle of the bar code to begin with a pattern that corresponds to the required start pattern, or for a short scan that ends in the middle of the bar code to end with a pattern that corresponds to the required stop pattern. The purpose of a Bearer Bar is to equalize the pressure exerted by the printing plate over the entire surface of the symbol, and to enhance reading reliability by helping to reduce the probability of misreads occurring when the bar code is scanned at too large an angle so that the scanning beam crosses the top and/or bottom edge of the bar code rather than scanning across all bars, entering through the leftmost bar and exiting through the rightmost bar (or vice versa for a reverse scan). The Bearer Bar surrounds the entire symbol and the quiet zones, abutting the ends of the bars. In these uses, the ITF bar code symbol is usually printed surrounded with a thick black rectangular border called the Bearer Bar. One specific instance of this, standardized by GS1, is the ITF-14 bar code used to mark packages with Global Trade Item Numbers. ITF is often used for marking product ID numbers or other codes, of various lengths, on item cartons and multi-unit cases. The thick rectangular border is the Bearer Bar. There are specific constraints on the height and width of the bars and the width of the "quiet zones", the blank areas before the start and after the stop symbol. Ī checksum can be added as last digit, which is calculated in the same way as UPC checksums. Typically an odd number of digits is encoded by adding a "0" as first digit, but sometimes an odd number of digits is encoded by using five narrow spaces in the last digit. This is similar to the POSTNET bar code.īefore the actual pairs there is a start code consisting of nnnn (narrow bar - narrow space - narrow bar - narrow space), and after all symbols there is the stop code consisting of Wnn (Wide bar-narrow space-narrow bar).īecause digits are encoded by pairs, only an even number of digits can be encoded. The wide lines form a two-out-of-five code with consecutive values of 1, 2, 4, 7, and 0, where the code 0 has a value of 11. Where "n" is a narrow line (bar or space) and "W" a wide line (2.0 to 3.0 times the width of a narrow line). The digits are encoded to symbols as follows: Two out of every five bars or spaces are wide (hence exactly 2 of 5). ITF encodes pairs of digits the first digit is encoded in the five bars (or black lines), while the second digit is encoded in the five spaces (or white lines) interleaved with them. It is used commercially on 135 film, for ITF-14 barcodes, and on cartons of some products, while the products inside are labeled with UPC or EAN. Interleaved 2 of 5 ( ITF) is a continuous two-width barcode symbology encoding digits. I2/5 on a 135 film can part of DX encoding
