Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF) is a numeric-only barcode that is used to encode pairs of numbers in a high density barcode format.

Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes always contain an even number of digits because a single Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode character represents two numbers to achieve high density. If a number containing an odd number of digits needs to be encoded, a leading zero must be appended to produce an even number of digits.

The symbology of the Interleaved 2 of 5 character set consists of bar code symbols representing characters 00 to 99 and start / stop characters. The complete printed barcode consists of a leading quiet zone, a start pattern, Interleaved 2 of 5 symbols representing data, a stop pattern and a trailing quiet zone.

According to ANSI specifications, the quiet zones must be 10 times the width of the short bar in the barcode.

Interleaved 2 of 5 was designed for character self-checking, eliminating the requirement for checksum characters. However, checksum characters maximize data integrity and are required by some specifications.

When Interleaved 2 of 5 is used for ITF-14, EAN-14, SSC-14 and DUN14 bar-codes, a MOD 10 check digit is usually required. The MOD 10 may be either calculated by IDAutomations font automation tools or manually.

Manual calculation is obtained by adding up the odd numbers, multiplying them by 3, adding up the even numbers, and determining the number that when added to the sum will produce a multiple of 10. For example, the check digit for 123456789 is 5 because (3*(1+3+5+7+9))+(2+4+6+8) = 95 and 95 + 5 =100.

When calculating check digits, the data to encode should be an odd number of digits because the check digit is interleaved with the last digit. IDAutomation recommends using the Online Font Encoder to test the results of manual calculations.

The Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode may also be used as for German Post Identcode and Leitcode symbols. Identcode and Leitcode require a unique checksum to be calculated.

The calculation is similar to USS Interleaved 2 of 5 MOD 10 except that even numbers are multiplied by 9 and odd numbers by 4. For example, the check digit for 12345678901 would be "6" because (4*(1+3+5+7+9+1))+(9*(2+4+6+8+0)=284 and 284 + 6 = 290.
