EBS Barcode Printing

Oracle provides two methods to implement 128 code encoding
The first method is to use reports builder to encode the 128 code. In Metalink 305090.1 [1 ],
The idautomation. PLL includes the methods code128a and code128b.
And code128c respectively implement the encoding of Class A, Class B, and class C 128 codes. For more information, see Metalink.
305090.1.
The second method is to use XML Publisher to encode 128 codes. Because more than 128 ASCII code pairs
Special characters cannot be displayed in PL/SQL, but these characters are used as 128 characters in code 128
Start and end bits and check bits. The encoding process is implemented on the PL/SQL side and the XML data combination template is generated.
It is difficult to generate a bar code. To change our thinking, we put the Encoding Process in the Java class by combining the Template
128 codes can be generated and printed. In Oracle XML Publisher
Advanced barcode font formatting in administration and developer's Guide
Implementation provides the implementation of this method. Provide Java in Metalink 782809.1 [2]
Download the code 128 implementation class (barcodeutil. Java), and test the corresponding template file.

(Testbarcodeutil. rtf)

The following content uses the font idautomationc128m for demonstration.

1. Windows Local font configuration

Download the barcode font, copy it to the system font folder, and install it automatically.

2. Upload Java to the server

1. view the path in Java, for example, package oracle. Apps. xdo. template. rtf. util. barcoder;

Upload the Java file barcodeutil. Java to the $ java_top/Oracle/apps/xdo/template/RTF/util/barcoder directory.

Compile a Java File

The Java file is as follows:

3. generate an XML Data Source

Example:

<? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?> <Receipt_applied> <lines> <item_code> f4990010010 </item_code> <item_name> <! [CDATA [CDATA software V1.0]> </item_name> <barcode> 912014266 </barcode> </lines> <item_code> f4990010010 </item_code> <item_name> <! [CDATA [CDATA software V1.0]> </item_name> <barcode> 912014265 </barcode> </lines> </receipt_applied>

4. Create a template based on the data source

Note: <? Register-barcode-vendor: 'oracle. Apps. xdo. template. rtf. util. barcoder. barcodeutil '; 'xmlpbarvendor'?> Register the barcode encoding class

<? Format-barcode: barcode; 'code128a'; 'xmlpbarvendor'?> Data formatting

5. register the data source and template

Omitted

6. Upload Fonts

Under the duties of XML Publisher administrator, first upload the font file

7. Configure font ing

Define the font conversion ing set under the duties of XML Publisher Administrator

Because our template uses the RTF format, you need to select the typeFO to PDF

Define the font conversion ing relationship under the duties of XML Publisher Administrator

Enter font family to open the font file.

Select style and Weight Based on the font used in the template

If you need to use the font ing Based on locale, fill in the language and territory. If you do not enter it, it indicates that all speech environments are applicable.

8. template and font ing Association

After the font ing is defined, modify the configuration of the bip template file.

After querying the bip template definition, clickEdit ConfigurationButton

Search for templates

Expand the fo Processing Section and setFont mapping setFont ing set defined above
