Java MSI Plessey Generator - Overview

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


MSI Plessey information:


MSI Plessey: also called Modified Plessey, is made up of a start data, message data, a check digit, an ending bar and a stop character.

Available encoding data:

numeric digits (0 through 9)

The structure of a MSI Plessey:

1. A start character which is a wide bar followed by a narrow space.
2. Any number of characters encoded .
3. Checksum digit(s).
4. A stop character, which is a narrow bar, a wide space, then a narrow bar.


Java MSI Plessey Installation & Implementation to generate MSI Plessey

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

// Create Java MSI Plessey object
MSI barcode = new MSI();

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Generate & encode MSI Plessey 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=msi

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

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

4. Two ways to set the width and height of generated barcode MSI Plessey image.

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