Code2of7
Code39, Code3of9
EAN128
Global Trade Item Number
Monarch
NW7
PDF417
SCC14 Shipping Code

2D Datamatrix*

The Barcode Plug-in is distributed as 'Freeware'.

To create 2D Datamatrix images need the RDatamatrix libraries from Java4Less.

When you need barcode images on your form.
When you need to print barcodes.
When you need standardized barcodes with the right specifications.

Every Solution that needs barcodes will benefit.

//Creates a Code 128 barcode...
//Define the code you want to use
//IMPORTANT: not all types of barcodes can show alphanumeric characters
var code = "AB0123456789";

//Print the text right under the barcode
var drawtext = true;

//Create a Code 128 barcode that dynamically switches between character sets
//to give the smallest possible encoding. This will encode
//all numeric characters, upper and lower case alpha characters and control characters
//from the standard ASCII character set. The size of the barcode created will be the
//smallest possible for the given data, and use of this 'optimal' encoding will
//generally give smaller barcodes than any of the other 3 'vanilla' encodings.
globals.value_1 = plugins.it2be_barcode.Code128(code, drawtext);

//Creates a Code 39 linear barcode...
var code = "0123456789"
var drawtext = true;
globals.value_2 = plugins.it2be_barcode.EAN128(code, drawtext);

//Creates a Codabar linear barcode...
var code = "0123456789";
var drawtext = true;
globals.value_3 = plugins.it2be_barcode.Codabar(code, drawtext);

//Creates a Code 3 of 9 (Code 39) linear barcode...
var code = "0123456789";
var checksum = true;
var drawtext = true;
globals.value_4 = plugins.it2be_barcode.Code3of9(code, checksum, drawtext);

//Creates a US Postal Service barcode based on the UCC/EAN 128 symbology...
var code = "0123456789";
var drawtext = true;
globals.value_5 = plugins.it2be_barcode.USPS(code, drawtext);

These video's will give you an introduction and simple instructions of how you can start using the Component.

Important

2D Datamatrix images are based on the RDatamatrix libraries.

Without a valid RDatamatrix redistribution license 2D Datamatrix images are created in trial mode or not at all.
The RDatamatrix redistribution license can be bought from Java4Less

The Barcode plug-in is based on the Barbeque libraries.

The copyright lies with the International Barcode Consortium.
So it is save to assume that the barcodes that are generated are ok.

The size of the barcode is fixed. And so it should be to comply with the standards.

It is important to check the minimum number of characters and type of characters allowed for the barcode type you want to create.

For EAN128 the minimum number of characters is 3 characters.
