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

UPC-E information: UPC-E: a shorten version of UPC-A symbology, is a numeric only linear barcode symbology, which can encode numeric digits (0through 9). It is commonly used in retail in US in retail. Available encoding data: numeric digits: 0-9 6 digit data length only excpt the first number system and the last checksum digit. The structure of a UPC-E: 1. Left-hand guard bars, encoded as 101. 2. Six data characters. 3. Right-hand guard bars, encoded as 010101 (a center-guard bar pattern with a trailing bar). Note that "1" represents a bar while "0" represents a space.

1. Generate UPC-E in Java class with the changing of barcode properties.

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

// Set UPC-E data text to encode. It must be 6 digits, without the first number system and the last checksum digit.
barcode.setData("123456");

// Generate UPC-E barcode & print into Graphics2D object
barcode.drawBarcode("Java Graphics2D object");

// Generate UPC-E barcode & encode into GIF format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-upce.gif");

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

2. Generate & encode UPC-E to EPS with changing the values concerned.

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

// Set UPC-E data text to encode. It must be 6 digits, without the first number system and the last checksum digit.
barcode.setData("123456");

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

3. Generate & encode UPC-E 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=UPCE

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

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

4. Two ways to set the width and height of generated barcode UPC-E image.

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

UPC-E Basic Settings

Properties		Value		Comments
Property	URL	Options	Default
data	DATA	(Data to encode in the Codabar)	""	UPC-E value to encode UPC-E Character Set: Digits:0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9;
addCheckSum	ADD-CHECK-SUM	(Data to encode in the Codabar)	false	addCheckSum property is not applied here. Java Barcode will always add a check character in the last digit (modulo 10). The UPC-E check digit has the same value of the check digit on the equivalent UPC-A number.
