Set Start and Stop Symbols of Codabar Barcode

The Codabar barcode has the following structure:

1. Start Symbol at the beginning (A, B, C or D)
2. Data to be encoded
3. End symbol (A, B, C or D)

You can customize the start and stop symbols according to your requirements, using BarCodeAttributes.setCodabarStartSymbol() and BarCodeAttributes.setCodabarStopSymbol() methods.

Programming Sample

In the code below, we set A as the start symbol and D as the stop symbol for the Codabar barcode.

Java

 public class MyAttributes

{

    public static BarCodeAttributes Create(String text, String symbology)

    {

        BarCodeAttributes b = new BarCodeAttributes();

        b.setCodeText(text);

        b.setSymbology(symbology);

        b.setCodabarStartSymbol(CodabarSymbol.A);

        b.setCodabarStopSymbol(CodabarSymbol.D);

        return b;

    }

}
