1. Java Code-39 Barcode Introduction

Code-39 is also known as ANSI/AIM Code 39, ANSI/AIM Code 39, Uniform Symbology Specification Code 39, USS Code 39, USS 39, Code 3/9, Code 3 of 9, USD-3, LOGMARS, Alpha39, Code 39 Extended, and Code 39 Full ASCII

Compatibility: Barcode for Java library is compatible with the latest Code-39 ISO specification [ISO/IEC 16388 (Second edition 2007-05-15)]

Code 39, the first alpha-numeric symbology to be developed, is still widely used-especially in non-retail environments. It is the standard bar code used by the United States Department of Defense, and is also used by the Health Industry Bar Code Council (HIBCC).

2. Java Code-39 Encoding Data Scope

Java Code 39 Generator encodes the following chars:
  • 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
  • Uppercase letters (A - Z)
  • - (Dash), $ (Dollar), % (Percentage), (Space), . (Point), / (Slash), + (Plus)

Java Code 39 Extension Generator encodes:
  • all 128 ASCII characters


 

3. How to Generate Code-39 Barcode in Java Class?

The following Java code illustrates how to create a Code-39 barcode, and output to various formats

1            Linear linear = new Linear(); 
2            linear.setType(Linear.CODE39); 
3            linear.setData("CODE39"); 
4            linear.renderBarcode("c:/barcode.gif"); 
	
5            BufferedImage bufferedImage = linear.renderBarcode();

6            byte[] barcodeBytes = linear.renderBarcodeToBytes();

7            Graphics2D g = ...
8            Rectangle2D rectangle = ... 
9            linear.renderBarcode(g, rectangle);

10           OutputStream outputStream = ...
11           linear.renderBarcode(outputStream);

  • Create a Linear barcode object (line 1)
  • Set Linear object barcode type to Code-39 (line 2)
  • Set Code 39 barcode data to encode (line 3)
  • Encode generated code-39 barcode into gif image file (line 4)
  • Generate Code-39 and output to BufferedImage object (line 5)
  • Generate Code-39 in bitmap and output to byte[] (line 6)
  • Generate Code-39 and draw to defined area (Rectangle2D) on Graphics2D (line 7-9)
  • Generate Code-39 and output to OutputStream (line 10-11)



 

4. How to Generate Barcode Code-39 Image in Java Web Applications?

There are two methods to create Code-39 barcode images in your Java web applications.

  1. The simplest way is to stream barcode image using our buildin barcode servlet application.

    • Download the Barcode for Java Trial Package, and unzip it.


    • Under java_barcode_trial package, copy barcode folder to your java servlet container like tomcat.


    • Restart tomcat. Now you have installed successfully.


    • To test your installation, open your web browser and navigate to
      http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/linear?Data=123456789&Type=CODE39


    • To create barcode image in your JSP or html page, you need pass the url to IMG tag src value. For example,
      <img src="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/linear?Data=123456789&Type=CODE39" />

      Using this method, it will not generate any barcode images in your server side.


  2. The second method is to generate barcode images in your server side

    • Create a barcode image in server side 
      1            Linear linear = new Linear(); 
2            linear.setData("123456789"); 
3            linear.setType(Linear.CODE39); 
4            linear.renderBarcode("C:/Tools/Tomcat 5.5/webapps/YourWebApp/barcode-images/barcode.gif");


    • In your JSP or HTML page, you need use IMG tag to display generated image, like
      <img src="http://YourDomain:Port/YourWebApp/barcode-images/barcode.gif" />

6. Java Code-39 Property Settings

  • Set the type property to Linear.CODE39 or Linear.CODE39EX
    Servlet URL Parameter: "Type". Value: 3 for Code-39, 4 for Code-39 extension. Sample: &Type=3
  • Set the data property with the value to encode.
    Type is String.
    • Valid Data Scope for Code 39 (BarcodeType.CODE39):
      • 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
      • Uppercase letters (A - Z)
      • - (Dash), $ (Dollar), % (Percentage), (Space), . (Point), / (Slash), + (Plus)
    • Valid Data Scope for Code 39 extension (BarcodeType.CODE39EX):
      • all 128 ASCII characters
    • Sample: barcode.setData("CODE39-123456789012")
    Servlet URL Parameter: Data.
  • addCheckSum property is optional. Modulo 43 will be applied, if addCheckSum property is true.
    Default is false.
