Java Barcode RM4SCC (British Royal Mail 4-State Customer Barcode) Generator for Java

RM4SCC is also known as RM4SCC, RoyalMail4SCC, British Royal Mail 4-State Customer Code and Royal Mail Barcode

This Symbology is used by Royal Mail (United Kingdom) post office, Singapore post office for Postal code and automatic mail sorting. It provides information about the address of the receiver.
It encodes alpha-numeric characters (0-9, A-Z), as well as start and stop bar characters. It comprises four types of bars (the four states), each of which has a distinct name, value and barcode symbol.

4-State Barcode Bars

RM4SCC Barcode for Java supports.

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
A - Z

The following Java code illustrates how to create a RM4SCC barcode, and output to various formats

1 Linear linear = new Linear(); 2 linear.setType(Linear.RM4SCC); 3 linear.setData("ABC123"); 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);

There are two methods to create RM4SCC barcode images in your Java web applications.

1 Linear linear = new Linear(); 2 linear.setData("ABC123"); 3 linear.setType(Linear.RM4SCC); 4 linear.renderBarcode("C:/Tools/Tomcat 5.5/webapps/YourWebApp/barcode-images/barcode.gif");

Set the type property to Linear.RM4SCC
Servlet URL Parameter: "Type". Value: 39. Sample: &Type=39
Set the data property with the value to encode. Type is String.
- Valid Data Scope:
  - 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
  - uppercase letters (A through Z)
- Sample: "ABC123"
Servlet URL Parameter: Data.
addCheckSum property is not applied. Barcode Library will automatically add one check character.
Barcode image size settings:
- Set property uom (Unit of Measure) for properties X, Y, leftMargin, rightMargin, topMargin and bottomMargin.
  Default is Linear.UOM_PIXEL (0). Valid values are Linear.UOM_PIXEL (0), Linear.UOM_CM (1), Linear.UOM_Inch (2).
  Servlet URL Parameter: "UOM". Value: 0 (pixel), 1 (cm), 2 (inch). Sample: &UOM=0
- Set the X (for barcode module width) and Y (for barcode module height) properties.
  Both types are float. Default X is 3. Y is 75.
  Servlet URL Parameter: "X", "Y". Sample: &X=3&Y=75
- Set the leftMargin, rightMargin, topMargin and bottomMargin properties, and types are all float.
  Default values are 0 for all 4 margin settings.

- Set the resolution property (Value is expressed in DPI - Dots per inch).
  Default is 72 dpi.
  Servlet URL Parameter: "Resolution". Sample: &Resolution=72
Setting up text style in barcode image:
- Set the showText properties. If this value is true, barcode data will be displayed with the barcode.
  Default is true.
  Servlet URL Parameter: "ShowText". Value: "t" (true), "f" (false). Sample: &ShowText=t
- Set the textFont property. The font used to display text in barcode image.
  Default is new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 11).
