Java Barcode Interleaved 2 of 5 Generator for Java

Interleaved 2 of 5 is also known as ANSI/AIM ITF 25, ANSI/AIM I-2/5, Uniform Symbology Specification ITF, USS ITF 2/5, ITF, I-2/5, 2 of 5 Interleaved, 2/5 Interleaved

Compatibility: Barcode for Java library is compatible with the latest Interleaved 2 of 5 ISO specification [ISO/IEC 16390 (Second edition 2007-06-15)]

Interleaved 2 of 5 is a higher-density numeric symbology based upon the Standard 2 of 5 symbology. It is used primarily in the distribution and warehouse industry.

Interleaved 2 of 5 encodes any even number of numeric characters in the widths (either narrow or wide) of the bars and spaces of the bar code. Unlike Standard 2 of 5, which only encodes information in the width of the bars, Interleaved 2 of 5 encodes data in the width of both the bars and spaces. This allows Interleaved 2 of 5 to achieve a somewhat higher density.

The symbology is called "interleaved" because the first numeric data is encoded in the first 5 bars while the second numeric data is encoded in the first 5 spaces that separate the first 5 bars. Thus the first 5 bars and spaces actually encode two characters. This is also why the bar code can only encode an even number of data elements.

Sample of an Interleaved 2 of 5 Barcode

Interleaved 2 of 5 Barcode for Java supports:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

The following Java code illustrates how to create a Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode, and output to various formats

1 Linear linear = new Linear(); 2 linear.setType(Linear.INTERLEAVED25); 3 linear.setData("0123456789012"); 4 linear.renderBarcode("c:/barcode.gif"); 5 BufferedImage bufferedImage = linear.renderBarcode(); 6 byte[] barcodeBytes = linear.renderBarcodeToBytes(); 7 Graphics2D g = ... 8 Rectangle2D rectangle = ... 9 linear.renderBarcode(g, rectangle); 10 OutputStream outputStream = ... 11 linear.renderBarcode(outputStream);

There are two methods to create Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode images in your Java web applications.

1 Linear linear = new Linear(); 2 linear.setData("0123456789012"); 3 linear.setType(Linear.INTERLEAVED25); 4 linear.renderBarcode("C:/Tools/Tomcat 5.5/webapps/YourWebApp/barcode-images/barcode.gif");

Set the type property to Linear.INTERLEAVED25
Servlet URL Parameter: "Type". Value: 19. Sample: &Type=19
Set the data property with the value to encode. Type is String.
- Valid Data Scope:
  - 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
- Valid Data Format: The encoded message should contain even number of digits; otherwise, a '0' would be appended at the beginning.
- Sample: "012345"
Servlet URL Parameter: Data.
addCheckSum property is optional. Modulo 10 will be applied, if addCheckSum property is true.
Default is false.
Servlet URL Parameter: "AddCheckSum". Values: "t" (true), "f" (false). Sample: &AddCheckSum=t
Set N property, Wide bar vs Narrow bar ratio. Valid values are from 2.0f to 3.0f, inclusive.
Default is 2.0f.
Servlet URL Parameter: N. Sample: &N=3
Barcode image size settings:
- Set property uom (Unit of Measure) for properties X, Y, leftMargin, rightMargin, topMargin and bottomMargin.
  Default is Linear.UOM_PIXEL (0). Valid values are Linear.UOM_PIXEL (0), Linear.UOM_CM (1), Linear.UOM_Inch (2).
  Servlet URL Parameter: "UOM". Value: 0 (pixel), 1 (cm), 2 (inch). Sample: &UOM=0
- Set the X (for barcode module width) and Y (for barcode module height) properties.
  Both types are float. Default X is 3. Y is 75.
  Servlet URL Parameter: "X", "Y". Sample: &X=3&Y=75
- Set the leftMargin, rightMargin, topMargin and bottomMargin properties, and types are all float.
  Default values are 0 for all 4 margin settings.
  Servlet URL Parameter: "LeftMargin", "RightMargin", "TopMargin", "BottomMargin". Sample: &LeftMargin=0
- Set the resolution property (Value is expressed in DPI - Dots per inch).
  Default is 72 dpi.
  Servlet URL Parameter: "Resolution". Sample: &Resolution=72
Setting up text style in barcode image:
- Set the showText properties. If this value is true, barcode data will be displayed with the barcode.
  Default is true.
  Servlet URL Parameter: "ShowText". Value: "t" (true), "f" (false). Sample: &ShowText=t
- Set the textFont property. The font used to display text in barcode image.
  Default is new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 11).
  Servlet URL Parameter: "TextFont". Value format: [font name]|[font style]|[font size]. Sample Values: &TextFont=Arial|Bold|12
With rotate property, you can display barcode horizontally or vertically.
Value can be
- 0 (Linear.ANGLE_0),
- 1 (Linear.ANGLE_90),
- 2 (Linear.ANGLE_180),
- 3 (Linear.ANGLE_270)
Default value is 0.
Servlet URL Parameter: "Rotate". Sample: &Rotate=0
