Interleaved 2 of 5 and ITF-14 Properties

The following properties are specific to this barcode symbology. On the Home tab, they are displayed in the Barcode section when a barcode with this symbology is selected. Additionally, barcode fields using this symbology have properties that are common to all barcode fields. Those properties are displayed in the Properties pane. For more information, see Common Properties for Barcodes.

Property Description Values

Bar Height

The height of the bars in the barcode.

Value is dependent on the unit of measure for the label template.

Check Digit

Add an optional check digit to the barcode.

The listed check digits are optional forms of the selected symbology.

Special purpose check digits can be added to the barcode using the Formula data source.

Note: Specifying a value other than None decreases Max Chars to allow a character for the check digit, which is not counted toward the value of Max Chars.

Note: When a form that includes a check digit is used, the Data ProviderClosed Person or process that enters data into a form or other data entry view for a label that was configured by a Designer. A user acting as a Data Provider requires the DOCUMENT_PRINTER role or equivalent permissions. is not alerted if the check digit fails.

None

User Mod 10 (Interleaved 2 of 5 only)

Human Readable

Whether a text representation of the barcode is printed.

The human readable text can be positioned anywhere on the label (free floating).

None

Free Floating

Bearer Bar Type

Bearer bars are used to reduce the chance that a non-fixed length symbol is incorrectly read.

None

Top/Bottom

Rectangle

Line X-Dim

The X-dimension or width of the narrowest bar in the barcode. The range of values available depends on the Document DPI of the label template. For example, a label template with a Document DPI of 203 has Line X-Dim values in increments of 4.9 mil (1000 mil / 203 dpi).

Thousandths of an inch (mil) in fixed increments

Line X-Dim Round

Whether to round up, down, or to the nearest dpi if the selected X-dimension value is not available at print time due to a different dpi on the device.

For example, to print to a 600 dpi device, the x-dimension must be an increment of 1.7 mil (1000 mil / 600 dpi), such as 1.7, 3.4, 5.1, 6.8 and so on. If a label template with a 203 document dpi containing a barcode with a 4.9 X-dimension is printed to a 600 dpi device, the following X-dimension is applied:

  • Nearest: 5.1
  • Up: 5.1
  • Down: 3.4

Nearest

Up

Down

Ratio

The ratio of the wide bar to the narrow bar. The ratio can be used to create intermediate sizes between different X-dimensions.

For Example

For Ratio 3.0:1, the wide bars are three times the size of the narrow bars.

2.0:1

2.1:1

2.2:1

2.25:1

2.3:1

2.4:1

2.5:1

2.6:1

2.7:1

2.8:1

2.9:1

3.0:1
