Java EAN-8 generator is a mature and reliable Java barcode generation component for creating EAN-8barcodes in Java, Jasper Reports, iReport, and Eclipse BIRT projects. High-quality EAN-8 barcode images can be drawn and printed into GIF, BMP, PNG, JPEG/JPG & TIFF formats with Java EAN-8 barcode generator. Rich barcode options are provided to customize EAN-8 barcode properties in accordance with your needs.

EAN-8 information: EAN-8: a short version of EAN-13, is a numeric-only UPC-based barcode symbology and consists of 8 characters. It is widely used for smaller packages. Available encoding data: numeric digits: 0-9 7 digits length only The structure of a EAN-8: 1. Left-hand guard bars, or start sentinel, encoded as 101. 2. Two number system characters, encoded as left-hand odd-parity characters. 3. First two message characters, encoded as left-hand odd-parity characters. 4. Center guard bars, encoded as 01010. 5. Last three message characters, encoded as right-hand characters. 6. Check digit, encoded as right-hand character. 7. Right-hand guar bars, or end sentinel, encoded as 101. Note that "1" represents a bar while "0" represents a space.

1. Generate EAN-8 in Java class by changing of barcode properties.

// Create Java EAN-8 object
EAN8 barcode = new EAN8( );

// 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-ean8.gif");

// Generate barcode & encode into JPEG format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-ean8.jpg");

2. Generate & encode EAN-8 to EPS by changing the values concerned.

// Create Java barcode object
Codbar barcode = new EAN8();

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

// Generate barcode & encode into EPS format
barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode-ean8.eps");

3. Generate & encode EAN-8 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=EAN8

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

<imgsrc="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=1234567&TYPE=EAN8" />

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
