Java Code 39 Generator - Barcode Code 39 Introduction

Code 39 (also known as "USS Code 39", "Code 3/9", "Code 3 of 9", "USD-3", "Alpha39", "Type 39") is a barcode symbology that can encode uppercase letters (A through Z), digits (0 through 9) and a handful of special characters like the $ sign. Code 39 is restricted to 44 characters.

Java Code 39 Generator - Barcode Code 39 Introduction

Java Code 39 Generator encodes:
  • 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
  • Uppercase letters (A - Z)
  • - (Dash), $ (Dollar), % (Percentage), (Space), . (Point), / (Slash), + (Plus)
  • Code 39 Extension can encodes all 128 ASCII characters
How to Generate Code 39 in Java Class?
Top
Below is the sample code for generating Code 39 in Java Class. You can view complete Java Code 39 Generator Demo Source Code
// Build Java Code39 barcode object 
Code39 barcode = new Code39();

// Encode Code39 data
barcode.setData("CODE39-IN-JAVA");

// Generate Code39 barcode & print into Graphics2D object
barcode.drawBarcode("Java Graphics2D object");

// Generate Code39 barcode & encode into GIF format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-code39.gif");

// Generate Code39 barcode & render into JPEG format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-code39.jpg");

// Draw Code39 barcode & paint into EPS image format
barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode-Code39.eps");
How to Create Code 39 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=0123456789&TYPE=CODE39
  3. To create bar code images in html or jsp pages, you can insert an image tag (img) into your page.
  4. For example, <img src="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=0123456789&TYPE=CODE39"/>
  5. The above Java codes will not produce any Code 39 image files in your server system, using the above methods to draw Code 39 in JSP, html pages.
