Java Barcode UPC-A Generator Introduction
Top
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.

Barcode UPC-A Introduction

UPC-A is also known as Universal Product Code version A, UPC-A Supplement 5/Five-digit Add-On, UPC-A Supplement 2/Two-digit Add-On, UPC-A+5, UPC-A+2, UPC Code, UPC Symbol, GTIN-12, GS1-12, UCC-12

Java UPC-A Generator - Valid Data Scope

Java UPC-A Generator encodes:

  • 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
How to Generate UPC-A Barcodes in Java Class?
Top
Provided below is some Java demo code for generating UPC-A barcode images in Java class. You can simply copy to your barcoding project for a test. Here is some more advanced UPC-A settings and sample codings: Java UPC-A Generator Demo Source Code
// Create Java UPCA object 
UPCA barcode = new UPCA();

// Set UPCA data text to encode. It must be 11 digits, without the first number system
and the last checksum digit.
barcode.setData("12345678912");

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

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

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

// Generate UPCA barcode & encode into EPS
barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode-upca.eps");
How to Create UPC-A Image in Html or JSP Pages?
Top
  1. Under demo package, copy barcode folder and its contents to your tomcat
  2. Start tomcat, navigate to http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=12345678912&TYPE=UPCA
  3. To create UPC-A bar code images in html or JSP pages, you can insert a image tag (img) into your page
  4. Example tag, <img src="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=12345678912&TYPE=UPCA" />
