EAN-13 barcode (originally European Article Number) is a barcoding standard which is a superset of the original 12-digit Universal Product Code (UPC) system developed in the United States. The EAN-13 barcode is defined by the standards organisation GS1. The numbers encoded in EAN-13 bar codes are product identification numbers which are called Japanese Article Number (JAN) in Japan. All the numbers encoded in UPC and EAN barcodes are known as Global Trade Item Numbers (GTIN), and they can be encoded in other GS1 barcodes.

Java EAN-13 prints:

  • 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9



Java EAN-13 Barcode Generator - Common Questions



1. How to generate EAN-13 barcodes in JSP & HTML pages?

  1. Copy "barcoding" folder contents to your Java Servlet container like Tomcat's applications folder
  2. Restart your Java Servlet container
  3. Open your web browser like IE, Firefox, and navigate to http://localhost:8080/barcoding/linear?DATA=0123456789&TYPE=5
  4. To generate barcode images in JSP or HTML pages, insert the following html img tag code:
    <img src="http://localhost:8080/barcoding/linear?DATA=0123456789&TYPE=5" border=0 />


2. How to create EAN-13 barcodes in Java Servlet?

        try {
            Barcode barcode = new Barcode();
            barcode.setSymbology(Barcode.EAN13);
            barcode.setCode("012345678900");

            response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
            response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
            response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
            response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
            ServletOutputStream servletoutputstream = response.getOutputStream();

            barcode.drawOnStream(servletoutputstream);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new ServletException(e);
        }


3. How to generate EAN-13 barcodes in Java Class?

        barcode.setCode("012345678900");
        barcode.drawImage2File("java-ean13.gif");


4. How to draw EAN-13 barcodes to image files?

        Barcode barcode = new Barcode();
        barcode.setSymbology(Barcode.EAN13);
        barcode.setCode("012345678900");
        barcode.drawImage2File("java-ean13.gif");


5. How to draw & print EAN-13 barcodes to Java image objects or stream objects?

        Barcode barcode = new Barcode();
        barcode.setSymbology(Barcode.EAN13);
        barcode.setCode("012345678900");
        barcode.drawOnGraphics("Graphics2D object");
        
        barcode.drawOnStream("OutputStream object");
