Industrial 2 of 5

This topic describes how to insert a barcode control of the Industrial 2 of 5 symbology (code type) into a report. In addition, it gives a short description of the Industrial 2 of 5 code type. To learn more about barcodes in XtraReports see the Barcodes Overview topic.

Standard 2 of 5 is a low-density numerical symbology that was introduced in the 1960s. It has been used in the photofinishing and warehouse sorting industries, as well as to sequentially number airline tickets.

The following properties should be set to specify a particular barcode of the Industrial 2 of 5 type:

• BarCodeGeneratorBase.CalcCheckSum. This property is used to specify whether to calculate a checksum for the barcode or not. The default value is true.
• Industrial2of5Generator.WideNarrowRatio. This property is used to specify the density of a barcode's bars. The value assigned should be equal to or greater than 2.5.
