Reading & Scanning Data Matrix Barcodes in Java class
Top- tell BarcodeReader class where is the image file.
- here is the sample code:
- String[] datas = BarcodeReader.read(new File("C:/DataMatrix-Barcode-Image.gif"), BarcodeReader.DataMatrix);
- Pass your Data Matrix barcode image file, and barcode type to BarcodeReader, and it will return all Data Matrix barcode data in the image file.
Besides image file, you can also pass java.awt.Image or java.awt.image.RenderedImage object to the read method. - here is the sample code:
Common Asked Questions
