Industrial 2 of 5 Characteristics
Industrial 2 of 5 is a bar code symbology with a numeric character set and unique start and stop patterns. Unlike Interleaved 2
of 5, Industrial 2 of 5 may have an odd number of digits. Each character has two wide bars and 3 narrow bars. Industrial 2 of 5
is a discrete code, meaning there is a space (intercharacter gap) between each character. The size of the intercharacter gap is
generally the size of one narrow element.
A variant of standard Industrial 2 of 5 is an Industrial 2 of 5 with a two bar start and stop characters or Airline Code. The two bar
start and stop characters are the same start and stop characters that are used for Interleaved 2 of 5.
