I2of5Tools is a collection of fonts that allows you to create Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes. Interleaved 2 of 5 is a numeric symbology and therefore can only create bar codes from numbers-only input. The symbols encode even-numbered strings. If your input is an odd number of digits in length, it will be prepended with a leading zero. Therefore, "123" is encoded as "0123". You cannot simply type directly in the fonts and create a valid symbol. The i2of5tool command line utility accepts a number and formats it to include the start and stop bars, and calculates the necessary check digit(s). The string it returns is to be formatted in one of Azalea Software’s Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code fonts. |

I2of5Tools includes two fonts. The Interleaved2of5-Regular font creates full-width bars and the Interleaved2of5-Thin font creates bars that are pre-narrowed .005" (5 mils). The pre-narrowed fonts should be used when you need to compensate for ink spread on the printing press. Use the bundled OCR-B-Digits font to create the optional human-readable characters below the bars. If you need to create bearer bars, do so in the application you are printing from. |

The i2of5tool utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. |

The i2of5tool utility is GTIN compliant and accepts 14 digit GTIN input. |
