ITF14 Barcode

This is a barcode optimized for numbers, even number of digits. The numbers are encoded in a high density manner into the barcode. If the number of digits to be encoded is an odd number, a zero will be prepended.

Generating this barcode using the Barcode Generator

ITF14 is based on the Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode with an additional top/bottom bar called the bearers bar. During a scan, a barcode may be slanted and this results in an incomplete read. The Bearers bar is used to prevent an incomplete read. This barcode is typically used to mark containers of products.

Examples

To encode the data "59348345668817" without the check digit manually, simply key in "{[BsMbx*}" and select the FontCodeITF14H3.ttf font. The output is as follows:



The "*" represents the number "10" where "1" is the last digit of the data and "0" is the check digit. The computation of the check digit is illustrated in the section below.

How to compute the check digit

For example if the data "59348345668810" is to be encoded as a barcode. The check digit is computed as follows:

Data5934834566881
Starting from the last digit, multiply by 3 followed by 1.
*3*1*3*3*1*3*1*3*3*1*3*1*3
Sum : (5*1) + (9*3) + (3*1) + (4*3) + (8*1) + (3*3) + (4*1) + (5*3) + (6*1) + (6*3) + (8*1) + (8*3) + (1*1) = 140
If Sum Mod 10 is 0, the result is 0. Otherwise the result is 10 - (Sum Mod 10)
Modulo 10 :(140 % 10) = 0
Data to be encoded59348345668810
Mapping59 = '[' , 34 = 'B' , 83 = 's' , 45='M' , 66='b' , 88 = 'x' , 10 = '*'

The characters "{[BsMbx*}" can then be keyed in to the text editor with the appropriate font selected to generate a ITF14 barcode with check digit.
