Interleaved 2 of 5 Bar Code
The ^B2 (Interleaved 2 of 5) bar code instruction is a high density,
self-checking, continuous, numeric symbology.
Each data character for the Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code is composed of
five elements: five bars or five spaces. Of the five elements, two are
wide and three are narrow. The bar code is formed by interleaving
characters formed with all spaces into characters formed with all bars.
For more information, refer to an Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code
specification.
Print Ratios Supported: 2.0 to 3.0.
^FD (Field Data) Limitations: 100+ characters. Actual amount of
data depends on ^BY ratio and width (length if rotated) of label.
By definition, the total number of digits in an Interleaved code MUST
be even. The printer automatically adds a leading zero if an odd
number of digits is received.
The Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code uses the Mod 10 check digit scheme
for error checking. (See Appendix C)
