Interleaved 2 of 5 Barcode Fonts

Interleaved 2 of 5 Barcode Fonts

Specifications

The X dimension (X is the width of the narrow bar) of our Interleaved 2 of 5 font is listed below for various point sizes. The narrow to wide ratio is 2.75 to 1 which is recommended by international standards.

Our Interleaved 2 of 5 fonts have been specially designed to be able to produce dependable and scannable barcodes when printed at all point sizes. With a 600 DPI laser, the Interleaved 2 of 5 font can be printed as small as 6 points if the scanner supports it. IDAutomation has been able to dependably scan our Interleaved 2 of 5 font printed at 6 points with the Intermec 1800 CCD scanner.

Twelve different versions of the Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode fonts are provided to support human readable versions and different width and height requirements. Fonts beginning with "Adv" are "Advantage" fonts that work with our font tools. Fonts with the letter "H" in the font name are "human readable" versions. The last character in the Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode font name determines the height of the barcode with the shortest being "a" and the tallest being "e". Because each single font can be printed at various point sizes, there are several combinations of heights and widths that can be produced.

* Measurements are approximate and were measured when printed at 12 points which should work for most scanners. Measurements for Human Readable fonts do not include the text below. At 12 points, the X dimension is about 8 mils.
To print at a different height, find the font that has the height closest to what you need and use this formula to find the point size you need to print the font at to get that height:
12 * (height you want) / (height at 12 points) = (point size converted to integer)
For example, if you are using AdvI25d and you want it to be about .75" tall, you need to print it at 18 points because:
12 * .75 / .5 = 18
