Odd Number Of Characters In Interleaved 2 Of 5 Bar Code

Description

I have assigned an odd number to the maximum number of characters for an Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code, but when it prints, it has an extra digit.

Solution

The interleaved 2 of 5 bar code symbology is an even encoded symbology and is incapable of accommodating an odd number of characters. As such, Loftware adds a leading zero to any interleaved 2 of 5 bar code that contains an odd number of characters.
