INTERLEAVED 2OF5 SUPPLEMENT
Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code is a numeric only bar code. All I 2 of 5 bar codes must contain an even number of
characters and are bracketed by a stop and start character. The character is the colon (:). The letter F is used
to select interleaved two of five bar code. Note: this bar code can be printed in either a 2:1 or 3:1 wide to narrow
ratio. The following are 2:1 ratio commands (the default value).
A typical picket fence bar code would be sent as follows:
"<RC0,10><X2><FP3>:123456:"
The above prints a 3 unit high (24 dots) bar code starting at row 0 column 10. The bar code will extend down
and to the right from the initial row and column position.
A typical ladder orientation bar code with interpretation and a default width of 4 would be sent as follows.
"<RC0,70><FL>:123456:"
An expanded (doubled) version of the above bar code would be as follows:
"<RC0,70><FL><X2>:123456:"
A 3:1 ratio of the above expanded (doubled) version would be as follows:
"<RC0,70><FXL><X2>:123456:"
