MSI Plessey Barcode Sample Code & Barcode Property Settings
1. Generate MSI Plessey in Java Class
The following Java code illustrates how to generate a MSI Plessey barcode in a Java class
Linear barcode = new Linear();
barcode.setType(Linear.MSI);
// barcode data to encode
barcode.setData("1234567890");
// unit of measure for X, Y, LeftMargin, RightMargin, TopMargin, BottomMargin
barcode.setUOM(Linear.UOM_PIXEL);
// barcode module width in pixel
barcode.setX(3f);
// barcode module height in pixel
barcode.setY(75f);
barcode.setLeftMargin(0f);
barcode.setRightMargin(0f);
barcode.setTopMargin(0f);
barcode.setBottomMargin(0f);
// barcode image resolution in dpi
barcode.setResolution(72);
// disply human readable text under the barcode
barcode.setShowText(true);
// human reable text font style
barcode.setTextFont(new Font("Arial", 0, 12));
// ANGLE_0, ANGLE_90, ANGLE_180, ANGLE_270
barcode.setRotate(Linear.ANGLE_0);
barcode.setAddCheckSum(true);
barcode.renderBarcode("c://barcode.gif");
// generate barcode to BufferedImage object
BufferedImage bufferedImage = linear.renderBarcode();
// generate barcode to byte[] object
byte[] barcodeBytes = linear.renderBarcodeToBytes();
// render barcode on Graphics2D
Graphics2D g = ...
Rectangle2D rectangle = ...
linear.renderBarcode(g, rectangle);
// generate barcode and output to OutputStream object
OutputStream outputStream = ...
linear.renderBarcode(outputStream);
2. Barcode Property Settings
-
Set the type property to Linear.MSI, or Linear.MSI10, or Linear.MSI11, or Linear.MSI1010, or Linear.MSI1110
Servlet URL Parameter: "Type". Value: 31 (MSI), 32 (MSI10), 33 (MSI11), 34 (MSI1010), 35 (MSI1110). Sample: &Type=31
-
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
- Sample: "1234567890"
Servlet URL Parameter: Data.
-
For Type Linear.MSI, addCheckSum is optional. Modulo 10 will be applied, if addCheckSum property is true.
For Type Linear.MSI10,
addCheckSum is not applicable. Barcode Library will always add check character with Modulo 10.
For Type Linear.MSI11,
addCheckSum is not applicable. Barcode Library will always add check character with Modulo 11 using IBM algorithm.
For Type Linear.MSI1010,
addCheckSum is not applicable. Barcode Library will always calculate the Modulo 10 check digit the first time and then calculate it again with the previous result and append the result of the second Modulo 10 Calculation to the string to be encoded.
For Type Linear.MSI1110,
addCheckSum is not applicable. Barcode Library will always calculate the Modulo 11 check digit the first time and then calculate it again with the previous result and append the result of the second Modulo 10 Calculation to the string to be encoded.
Servlet URL Parameter: "AddCheckSum". Values: "t" (true), "f" (false). Sample: &AddCheckSum=t
-
Barcode image size settings: How to control barcode size?
-
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.
Servlet URL Parameter: "LeftMargin", "RightMargin", "TopMargin", "BottomMargin". Sample: &LeftMargin=0
-
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).
Servlet URL Parameter: "TextFont".
Value format: [font name]|[font style]|[font size].
Sample Values: &TextFont=Arial|Bold|12
-
With rotate property, you can display barcode horizontally or vertically.
Value can be
- 0 (Linear.ANGLE_0),
- 1 (Linear.ANGLE_90),
- 2 (Linear.ANGLE_180),
- 3 (Linear.ANGLE_270)
Default value is 0.
Servlet URL Parameter: "Rotate". Sample: &Rotate=0
