Java Leitcode Generator - Overview

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


Leitcode information:


Leitcode: also called Deutsche Post Leitcode, is widely used by German post to encode destination of mail pieces.

Available encoding data:

numeric digits: 0-9

13-digit data length

The structure of a Leitcode :

1. ZIP code(the first five characters)
2. Street's code number(the next two characters)
3. House number(two characters)
4. Product code(two chracters))
5. Check Digit


Java Leitcode Installation & Implementation to generate

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

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

// Set Leitcode data text to encode
barcode.setData("1234567890123");

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

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

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

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

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

// Set Leitcode data text to encode
barcode.setData("0123456789");

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

3. Generate & encode Leitcode 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=1234567890123&TYPE=leitcode

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

<imgsrc="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=1234567890123&TYPE=leitcode" />

4. Two ways to set the width and height of generated Leitcodeimage.

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