Java Codabar Generator - Introduction

Java Barcode is a Java barcode generator which generates high quality 1D (linear) and 2D (matrix) barcodes in Java, Jasper Reports, iReport, and Eclipse BIRT projects.

 

Codabar Barcode Introduction

Codabar is a linear barcode symbology developed in 1972 by Pitney Bowes Corp. It is also known as Codeabar, Ames Code, NW-7, Monarch, Code 2 of 7, Rationalized Codabar, ANSI/AIM BC3-1995 or USD-4.

Java Barcode Codabar Generation FAQ?

  1. How to generate barcode Codabar in Java class? (Complete Java Codabar Generator Demo Source Code)

    // Create Java Codabar object 
    Codabar barcode = new Codabar(); 
    
    // Set Codabar data text to encode
    barcode.setData("0123456789"); 
    
    // Generate Codabar barcode & print into Graphics2D object
    barcode.drawBarcode("Java Graphics2D object"); 
    
    // Generate Codabar barcode & encode into GIF format
    barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-codabar.gif"); 
    
    // Generate Codabar barcode & encode into JPEG format
    barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-codabar.jpg"); 
    
    


  2. How to generate & encode Codabar barcodes to EPS?

    // Create Java Codabar object 
    Codabar barcode = new Codabar(); 
    
    // Set Codabar data text to encode
    barcode.setData("0123456789"); 
    
    // Generate Codabar barcode & encode into EPS
    barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode-codabar.eps"); 


  3. How to create & encode Codabar image in HTML or JSP pages?



    • Under demo package, copy barcode folder and its contents to your tomcat.

    • Start tomcat, navigate to http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=0123456789&TYPE=codabar

    • To create bar code images in html or jsp pages, you can insert a image tag (img) into your page.
      For example, <img src="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=0123456789&TYPE=codabar"/>
