A license is required for each computer this software is installed on;
this software may only be used according to the License Agreement.
Demo versions of this software may be used for evaluation purposes only

NOTE: We recommend you use our Font Tools to automatically interleave the pairs of numbers and ensure the printed barcode will scan properly. This DEMO barcode font package should only be used for testing and evaluation purposes because some of the characters contain the text "DEMO" in them which can cause scan errors. For testing purposes, a successful scan can be obtained by scanning the lower 25% of the barcode that does not contain any "DEMO" text in it. Also, in the evaluation version package, fonts are only provided in the "b", "d" and "f" heights. human readable fonts are only provided in the "c" height. After you order the fully functional version, you will receive all heights (a through f) for a total of 12 different fonts.

Interleaved 2 of 5 Font Advantage Package Features

Details of the Interleaved 2 of 5 Font Advantage Package are as follows:

Installation Instructions

To install the TrueType fonts in Windows, run the INSTALL.EXE program or perform the following for manual installation: 

  1. Click on Start, Select settings and click on Control Panel.
  2. Click on Fonts, Click on File in your main tool bar, Select Install New Font.
  3. Select the folder where you placed the barcode fonts.
  4. The fonts will appear and look like this: FontName (true type) - select the fonts you want to install and choose OK.
  5. Click Start and choose to shut down and restart your computer.
  6. The font should be active when you restart your computer.

Installing the fonts on Macintosh OS X:

  1. Drag or copy and paste the TrueType font file(s) ending in TTF to the Library/Fonts folder.
  2. To activate the fonts, restart the application - some applications may require you to restart the computer.
  3. The font should now be active in the font menu of your application.

To install the TrueType font on the Classic Macintosh (OS 7.1 - OS 9):

  1. Download and install Stuffit Expander on your Macintosh if you do not have an expander utility that can open ZIP files and decode MacBinary files.
  2. Open the ZIP distribution file that contains the fonts by dragging the ZIP file on the Stuffit Expander icon. The font files will be extracted from the ZIP distribution file and will appear in a subfolder of the folder you placed the ZIP file in. Open this subfolder to view the font files.  At this point, you may want to view the documentation supplied with the font files. To do so just drag the file "1readme.html" to the Netscape or Internet Explorer icon.
  3. Now we must decode the files from MacBinary format. Drag the font files that you wish to use that end with "mtt" to the Stuffit Expander icon.
  4. Drag the decoded font files to the System - Fonts folder.
  5. Restart the application you wish to use the font with.
  6. The font will be active in the font menu of your application.
  7. To create the correct output for the font, you will need to choose the font in your application and type in the corresponding letter.

Font installation procedures for other operating systems are provided here

The Character Set

NOTE: You don't need to be concerned with the details and complexity of these fonts if you use our font automation tools. However, if you are interested in manually producing the barcodes, you will find the information in this section helpful. For manual check digit calculations, please refer to the information provided in the ITF Symbology Overview.

The character set is listed below in columns. The "ITF Code" column lists the character or function that the barcode scanner will read for the associated symbol. The columns, ASCII, Char and Unicode, are unique to our Interleaved 2of5 fonts. These columns designate the location, in either ASCII or Unicode, where the barcode symbol for the character resides. The column "Char" lists the character that resides at the ASCII location, which can be used to print the corresponding symbol.

Interleaved 2 of 5 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. We have 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 "f". Because each single font can be printed at various point sizes, there are several combinations of heights and widths that can be produced.

I25HRb NA  1/8" (.125") or .4 cm
I25HRc SI25HRc  5/16" (.315")  or .8 cm
I25HRd NA  1/2"  (.5") or 1.2 cm
I25HRe NA  11/16" (.689") or 1.8 cm
I25HRf NA  1 1/4" (1.25") or 3.1 cm
* 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
