^BI

^BI

The
^BI
 command is a discrete, self-checking, continuous numeric symbology. The Industrial 2 of 5 barcode has been in use the longest of the 2 of 5 family of barcodes. Of that family, the Standard 2 of 5 (
^BJ
) and Interleaved 2 of 5 (
^B2
) barcodes are also available in ZPL II.

Industrial 2 of 5 Bar Codes

With Industrial 2 of 5, all of the information is contained in the bars. Two bar widths are employed in this code, the wide bar measuring three times the width of the narrow bar.
  • ^BI
     supports a print ratio of 2.0:1 to 3.0:1.
  • Field data (
    ^FD
    ) is limited to the width (or length, if rotated) of the label.
If additional information about this barcode is required, refer to www.aimglobal.org.
