Java Code 2 of 5 Generator

Java Code 2 of 5 Generation package to generate Code 2 of 5 linear barcodes in Java applications.

  • Completely developed in Java.

  • Easy encapsulation, integration and customization are supported with JavaBean obeying a particular convention under a developmental environment.

  • Code 2 of 5 Java Barcode Generator package contains Applet, Servlet, and Class Library, which will facilitate the creation of Code 2 of 5 in Java projects, Java class, Java sever side apps.

  • Java Code 2of 5 allows easy encapsulation, integration and customization with JavaBean conforming to a particular convention under a developmental environment.

  • Java Code 2 of 5 barcode generation package allows the foreground color, the background color and the image format (png, png, gif, bmp) to be changed under image and color setting options.

Java Code 2 of 5 Generator - Overview

Java Codabar generator is a mature and reliable Java barcode generation component for creating Codabar barcodes in Java, Jasper Reports, iReport, and Eclipse BIRT projects. High-quality Codabar barcode images can be drawn and printed into GIF, BMP, PNG, JPEG/JPG & TIFF formats with Java Codabar barcode generator.

Code 2 of 5 information:

Code 2 of 5, also called industrial 2 of 5, is a mature & reliable barcode which is widely used in the photofinishing and warehouse sorting industries and can only encode

Available encoding data:

numeric data 0-9.

The structure of a Code 2 of 5:

A Standard 2 of 5 barcode has the following physical structure:
1. Start character, encoded as 11011010.
2. Data characters properly encoded.
3. Stop character, encoded as 11010110.
Note that "1" represents a bar while "0" represents a space.


Java Codabar Installation & Implementation

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

// Create Java Code25 object
Code25 barcode = new Code25();

// Set barcode data text to encode
barcode.setData("1234567");

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

// Generate barcode & encode into GIF format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode- code25.gif");

// Generate barcode & encode into JPEG format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode- code25.jpg");


2. Generate & encode barcodes to EPS with changing the values concerned.

// Create Java barcode object

Codbar barcode = new Code25();

// Set barcode data text to encode
barcode.setData("Generate Barcode in EPS using Java");

// Generate barcode & encode into EPS format
barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode- code25.eps");


3. Generate & encode barcodes 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=CODE25

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

<imgsrc="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=1234567&TYPE=CODE25" />


4. Two ways to set the width and height of generated barcode EAN-8 image

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