public class ImplCodabar
extends LineageTwoWidth

Implementation of Codabar.

Codabar is a 1D barcode symbology typically used in libraries, blood banks and transportation applications. It is capable of encoding digits (0-9) and the characters plus (+), minus (-), dollar ($), colon (:), slash (/), and period (.), as well as the start/stop characters 'A', 'B', 'C' and 'D'.

The encoded data must begin and end with one of the above start/stop characters. These characters can be either different or the same.

Method Details

setContent

public void setContent(String content,
 boolean autoComplete,
 boolean appendOptionalChecksum)
                throws BarcodeException

Sets the content to be encoded in the barcode.

Validates the provided content and ensures that it begins and ends with a valid start/stop character ('A', 'B', 'C' or 'D'). If autoComplete is set to true, the method will automatically add 'A' as the start and stop character if one or both are missing.

Specified by:

setContent in class Barcode

Parameters:

content - the content to be encoded in the Codabar barcode

autoComplete - whether to automatically add start and stop characters if they are missing

appendOptionalChecksum - has no function, as Codabar does not support checksums

Throws:

BarcodeException - if the content is empty, invalid, or missing required start/stop characters
