EAN-8, also known as European Article Number 8, UPC-8, GTIN-8, GS1-8, EAN/UCC-8, is the short barcode version of EAN-13 barcode.

Generate and create EAN-8 barcode using Java is one of the functions in OnBarcode's Barcode for Java Generating Java library (jar file), which supports generating & printing EAN-8 and 20+ other linear & 2D bar codes in Java application and software.

EAN-8 Generator and Reader library, SDK & application
EAN-8 Generator components and software include .NET EAN-8, C# EAN-8, VB.NET EAN-8, ASP.NET EAN-8, EAN-8 Generator.

This document is providing a detailed Java sample source code about generating EAN-8 barcodes in Java class using Java Barcode generation component. Complete EAN-8 custmoization settings is included in Java EAN-8 generating guide.

Generating EAN-8 barcode in Java class example:

	EAN8 barcode = new EAN8();
	
	/*
	   EAN 8 Valid data char set:
	        0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (Digits)
	
	   EAN 8 Valid data length: 7 digits only, excluding the last checksum digit
	*/
	barcode.setData("7777777");
	
	// for EAN8 with supplement data (2 or 5 digits)
	/*
	barcode.setSupData("12");
	// supplement bar height vs bar height ratio
	barcode.setSupHeight(0.8f);
	// space between barcode and supplement barcode (in pixel)
	barcode.setSupSpace(15);
	*/
	
	// EAN 8 Unit of Measure, pixel, cm, or inch
	barcode.setUom(IBarcode.UOM_PIXEL);
	// EAN 8 bar module width (X) in pixel
	barcode.setX(3f);
	// EAN 8 bar module height (Y) in pixel
	barcode.setY(75f);
	
	// EAN 8 image margins
	barcode.setLeftMargin(0f);
	barcode.setRightMargin(0f);
	barcode.setTopMargin(0f);
	barcode.setBottomMargin(0f);
	
	// barcode image resolution in dpi
	barcode.setResolution(72);
	
	// disply barcode encoding data below the barcode
	barcode.setShowText(true);
	// barcode encoding data font style
	barcode.setTextFont(new Font("Arial", 0, 12));
	// space between barcode and barcode encoding data
	barcode.setTextMargin(6);
	
	//  barcode displaying angle
	barcode.setRotate(IBarcode.ROTATE_0);
	
	barcode.drawBarcode("C:\\ean8.gif");
