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

EAN-128 information: EAN-128: also called UCC-128 or GS1 128, is another kind of Code 128 based symbologies, which is a subset of Code 128. It is widely used in shipping and packaging industries to indentify the encoded information of the container and pallet levels in the supply chain. Available encoding data: all 128 characters of ASCII(0-127). The structure of a EAN-128 : 1. A Code-128 Start character (A, B, or C). 2. A Code-128 FNC1 character (character 102). 3. Application Identifier (from AI table corresponding to data to be encoded). 4. Data to be encoded (format depends on AI). 5. A Code-128 checksum character.

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

// Create Java EAN128 object
EAN128 barcode = new EAN128();

// Set EAN128 data text to encode
barcode.setData("(00)350123451234567894";);

// Generate EAN128 barcode & print into Graphics2D object
barcode.drawBarcode("Java Graphics2D object";);

// Generate EAN128 barcode & encode into GIF format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-ean128.gif";);

// Generate EAN128 barcode & encode into JPEG format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-ean128.jpg";);

2. Generate & encode EAN-128 to EPS with changing the values concerned.

// Create Java EAN128 object
EAN128 barcode = new EAN128();

// Set EAN128 data text to encode
barcode.setData("(00)350123451234567894";);

// Generate EAN128 barcode & encode into EPS
barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode-ean128.eps";);

3. Generate & encode EAN-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=EAN128

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

<imgsrc="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=1234567&TYPE=EAN128" />
