GS1-128, former known as EAN-128, UCC-128, USS-128, is alphanumeric linear barcode developed on Code 128, however, using GS1 standard.
Generate and create EAN-128 barcode using Java is one of the functions in OnBarcode's
Barcode for Java Generating Java library (jar file), which supports
generating & printing EAN-128 and 20+ other linear & 2D bar codes in Java application and software.
EAN-128 Generator and Reader library, SDK & application
EAN-128 Generator components and software include
GS1 128 .NET,
GS1 128 C#,
GS1 128 VB.NET,
GS1 128 ASP.NET,
GS1 128 Generator.
This document is providing a detailed Java sample source code about generating EAN-128 barcodes in Java class using
Java Barcode generation component.
Complete EAN-128 custmoization settings is included in
Java EAN-128 generating guide.
Generating GS1-128 barcode in Java class example:
EAN128 barcode = new EAN128(); /* GS1-128 / EAN-128 Valid data char set: all 128 ASCII characters (Char from 0 to 127) to encode Application Identifier (AI), add "()" around the AI code, and followed by the AI data */ barcode.setData("(00)350123451234567894(21)01234567"); // Set the processTilde property to true, if you want use the tilde character "~" // to specify special characters in the input data. Default is false. // 1) All 128 ISO/IEC 646 characters, i.e. characters 0 to 127 inclusive, in accordance with ISO/IEC 646. // NOTE This version consists of the G0 set of ISO/IEC 646 and the C0 set of ISO/IEC 6429 with values 28 - 31 // modified to FS, GS, RS and US respectively. // 2) Characters with byte values 128 to 255 may also be encoded. // 3) 4 non-data function characters. // 4) 4 code set selection characters. // 5) 3 Start characters. // 6) 1 Stop character. barcode.setProcessTilde(true); // GS1-128 Unit of Measure, pixel, cm, or inch barcode.setUom(IBarcode.UOM_PIXEL); // GS1-128 barcode bar module width (X) in pixel barcode.setX(3f); // GS1-128 barcode bar module height (Y) in pixel barcode.setY(75f); // barcode 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:\\ean128.gif");
