Java Code 39 Generator - Overview

Java Code 39 generator is a mature and reliable Java barcode generation component for creating Code 39 barcodes in Java, Jasper Reports, iReport, and Eclipse BIRT projects. High-quality Code 39 barcode images can be drawn and printed into GIF, BMP, PNG, JPEG/JPG & TIFF formats with Java Code 39 barcode generator. Rich barcode options are provided to customize Code 39 barcode properties in accordance with your needs.

Code 39 information:

Code 39: also called "Code 3/9", "code 3 of 9", "USS Code 39", "Alpha 39" and "USD-3", is an alpha-numeric barcode symbology, which is discrete and widely-used.

Available encoding digits:

Uppercase letters (A - Z)
Special digits: - $ % Space . ,/+

Variable-length

The structure of a Code 39:

1. A start character - the asterisk (*) character.
2. Encoded characters.
3. An optional checksum digit .
4. A stop character, a second asterisk character.


Java Code 39 Generator Implementation to Generate Code 39

1. Generate Code 39 in Java class by changing of barcode properties.

// Create Java barcode object

Code39barcode = new Code39();

// 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- code 39.gif";);


2. Generate & encode Code 39 to EPS by changing the values concerned.

// Create Java Code39 object

Code39 barcode = new Code39();

// Set Code39 data text to encode

barcode.setData("CREATE CODE39 IN EPS";);

// Draw Code39 barcode & paint into EPS image format

barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode-Code39.eps";);


3. Generate & encode Code 39 in html or jsp pages.

1. Under demo package, copy barcode folder and its contents to your tomcat.

2. Start tomcat, navigate to http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=1234567&TYPE=CODE39

3.To create bar code images in html or jsp pages, you can insert a image tag (img) into your page.

For example, <img src="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=1234567&TYPE=CODE39" />

4. The above Java codes will not produce any Code 39 image files in your server system, using the above methods to draw Code 39 in JSP, html pages.


4. Two ways to set the width and height of generated barcode Code 39 image.

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