Linear Java Barcode supports several bar code symbologies including Code 39, Extended Code 39, Code 128, UCC-128, EAN128, Code-128 Auto, PDF417, Interleaved 2 of 5, Data Matrix, LOGMARS, Codabar, UPC-A, UPC-E, MSI, EAN-8, EAN-13, Code 11, Code 93, Industrial 2 of 5, MaxiCode, PLANET and POSTNET.

These JavaBeans, Applets, Servlets and Class Libraries may be used on any platform with a Java Virtual Machine, including Windows®, LINUX, MacOS, Solaris, HP/UX, AS/400, OS/390 and many others to integrate automated barcoding into internet applications, websites or custom Java applications. If you would rather create barcodes for Internet use with Microsoft® technology, please refer to our ASP Barcode Server Component for IIS or the ASP.NET Barcode Server Control. For local applications, refer to our .NET Barcode Forms Controls, ActiveX Controls or barcode fonts. We also offer the functionality of the servlet as a hosted service via our Dynamic Bar Code Generator Service which does not require any software to be installed.

Some of the product features can be viewed on your browser by selecting the "Applet Demo" link below. View our pre-loaded applet demo for an implementation example. You may also download an evaluation version of the complete package by selecting the "Download" link. The evaluation version is provided in a ZIP file, which contains the JAR file, documentation and source code for the servlet, encoder and applet.

Source code provided with the purchase of 3 Developer Licenses

Here are some key features of "Linear Java Barcode":

· Royalty free - with the purchase of a Developer License the JavaBeans, class libraries and other runtimes are royalty free up to 10,000 users with few other limitations. Review the License Agreement for more details about this license.
· Quality graphics - the JPEG images generated with the encoder are high quality images that do not contain any background dots or distortion.
· Automatic check digit calculation - also, checksum characters can be enabled or disabled for any symbology.
· Auto Size option automatically sizes the images for easier operation.
· JavaBeans support - our Java packages conform to the JavaBeans specification to allow easy integration and customization in your development environment.
· Java container support - the Java classes supplied are a descendant of Java.awt.Canvas; therefore, they can be used in any Java container. The package may also be used as a class library for integration into your application.
· Easy to use servlet - the servlets are easy to embed in dynamic HTML as an image with the tag. To learn how, see Inserting Barcodes into HTML.
· Compatible with JDK 1.1 and above - however, JDK 1.2 or greater is required for the servlet or to generate JPEG files. JDK 1.3 is required to use MaxiCode in an application.
· Compatible with headless Java - our java components are compatible with the headless mode of Java in JDK 1.4 and above.
· Easy implementation with Oracle Reports - Display barcodes in a stand-alone report using our java class files and the Paper Layout view in Oracle Reports. See Tutorial
· Code 128 auto encoding - is provided for Code 128 in the linear package. Our Code 128 encoding supports UCC/EAN-128 barcodes including automatic identification of several AIs. More about AIs...
· Selectable orientation - with angles of 0, 90, 180 or 270.
· Flexible sizing options - allow the X dimension, wide to narrow ratio and the barcode height to be adjusted for the intended application and scanning equipment.
· Text options - the human readable text may be enabled or disabled in the linear barcode control. This feature is sometimes disabled by programmers that develop custom formatting for the text.
· Graphic configuration options - include settings for the foreground and background colors and fonts for human readable characters.
· Supplements - are supported for 2 and 5 digit EAN and UPC add-ons.
· Supports UPS barcodes - the Maxicode component provided supports UPS Maxicode symbols including compressed Maxicode.
· Image options - barcodes that are generated can be viewed on the web browser, exported to a jpeg file or saved in a Java.awt.Image object.
· Servlet client compatibility - when the servlet is implemented, it is compatible with all web browsers that can display JPEG images on any operating system.
· Servlet server compatibility - the servlet works on all web servers that support the Java Servlet API. The Servlet API is a set of Java classes that can be downloaded directly from Sun - the Java Servlet Development Kit. When you download the kit, it comes with a set of simple plug-ins that add servlet support to Netscape, IIS and Apache web servers. The servlet is also provided in source code form to allow for custom modification.
· Source code - with your order, the source code is supplied for the applets, graphic encoders and the servlet. The source code for the barcode generation classes should not be needed. However, they can be supplied with the purchase of the Unlimited Developer License and a signed Source Code License Agreement.
