Leitcode Barcode Introduction
Leitcode is also known as German Postal 2 of 5 Leitcode, Code Leitcode, Leitcode, Deutsche Post AG (DHL).
Leitcode barcode Symbology is used by German Post (Deutsche Post AG) (Deutsche Frachtpost). The Leitcode gives an indication of the destination.
The value to encode length is fixed to 13 digits plus 1 digit checksum which is automatically calculated by Java Barcode. The value to encode must have the following structure:
5 digits for Postal code (Postleitzahl, PLZ)
3 digits for Street ID/number
3 digits for House number
2 digits for Product code

Leitcode Encoding Data Scope
Leitcode Barcode for Java supports:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
How to Generate Leitcode Barcode in Java Class?
The following Java code illustrates how to create a Leitcode barcode, and output to various formats.
1 Linear linear = new Linear(); 2 linear.setType(Linear.LEITCODE); 3 linear.setData("8173908300200"); 4 linear.renderBarcode("c:/barcode.gif");
Under java_barcode_trial package, copy barcode folder to your java servlet container like tomcat.
Restart tomcat. Now you have installed successfully.
To test your installation, open your web browser and navigate to: http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/linear?Data=8173908300200&Type=LEITCODE
To create barcode image in your JSP or html page, you need pass the url to IMG tag src value. For example, <img src="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/linear?Data=8173908300200&Type=LEITCODE" /> Using this method, it will not generate any barcode images in your server side.
The second method is to generate barcode images in your server side.
Create a barcode image in server side, like Linear linear = new Linear(); linear.setData("8173908300200"); linear.setType(Linear.LEITCODE); linear.renderBarcode("C:/Tools/Tomcat 5.5/webapps/YourWebApp/barcode-images/barcode.gif");
In your JSP or HTML page, you need use IMG tag to display generated image, like <img src="http://YourDomain:Port/YourWebApp/barcode-images/barcode.gif" />
How to Generate Barcode Leitcode Image in Jasper Reports, iReport, Eclipse BIRT?
Set the type property to Linear.LEITCODE Servlet URL Parameter: "Type". Value: 21. Sample: &Type=21.
Set the data property with the value to encode. Type is String. Servlet URL Parameter: Data.
Valid Data Scope:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Valid Data Format:
The valid data length should be 13 digits. And extra last digit is the checksum digit, do not include it in the data property.
Sample: "1234567890123".
addCheckSum property is not applied here. Barcode Library will always add a check character in the last digit.
Barcode image size settings.
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. Default value is 0. Servlet URL Parameter: "Rotate". Sample: &Rotate=0. Value can be:
