Standard / Industrial / Airline 2 of 5

Two-out-of-five, or 2 of 5, is an error detection and correction technique that uses two bits out of five and provides exactly ten combinations. Therefore, it is perfectly suited for encoding the numerals 0-9 and can easily be incorporated into barcodes by using wide and narrow bars representing the on and off bits.

ITF / Interleaved Two of Five / Interleaved 2 of 5
