Java Code 128 Generator - Overview

Java Code 128 generator is a mature and reliable Java barcode generation component for creating Code 128 barcodes in Java, Jasper Reports, iReport, and Eclipse BIRT projects. High-quality Code 128 barcode images can be drawn and printed into GIF, BMP, PNG, JPEG/JPG & TIFF formats with Java Code 128 barcode generator. Rich barcode options are provided to customize Code 128 barcode properties in accordance with your needs.

Code 128 information:

Code 128: is a very effective, high-density barcode symbology which allows the encoding of alphanumeric data. It is designed to encode all 128 ASCII characters and the Latin-1 characters defined in ISO/IEC 8859-1.

Available encoding data:

All 128 ASCII characters
The Latin-1 characters defined in ISO/IEC 8859-1

The structure of a Code 128:

1. Start code, which is 11010000100 (Start-A), 11010010000 (Start-B), or 11010011100 (Start-C).
2. Each of the data bytes of the message.
3. The checksum byte.
4. Stop character of 11000111010.
5. Termination bar of 11.

Note that "1" represents a bar while "0" represents a space.

Java Code 128 Generator Implementation to Generate Code 128

1. Generate Code 128 in Java class with the changing of barcode properties.

// Create Java Code128 object
Code128 barcode = new Code128();

// Set Code128 data text to encode
barcode.setData("CODE128-IN-JAVA");

// Generate Code128 barcode & print into Graphics2D object
barcode.drawBarcode("Java Graphics2D object");

// Generate Code128 barcode & encode into GIF format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-code128.gif");

// Generate Code128 barcode & encode into JPEG format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-code128.jpg");

2. Generate & encode Code 128 to EPS by changing the values concerned.

// Create Java Code128 object
Code128 barcode = new Code128();

// Set Code128 data text to encode
barcode.setData("Create Code128 in EPS");

// Generate Code128 barcode & encode into EPS
barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode-code128.eps");

3. Generate & encode Code 128 in html or jsp pages.

1. Copy barcode folder and its contents from demo package to Apache Tomcat.

2. Start Apache Tomcat, go to http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=1234567&TYPE=CODE128

3. Insert an image tag (img) into your page. For example,

<imgsrc="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=1234567&TYPE=CODE128" />

4. Two ways to set the width and height of generated barcode Code 128 image.

1. Set the values of the barcodeWidth and barcodeHeight properties.
or
2. Set X (bar module width) and Y (bar module height) values.
