Dynamic Barcode Generator Tutorial
 
The IDAutomation Dynamic Barcode Generator Service is a professional
grade, online barcode generation service that is hosted and managed
by IDAutomation with a
99.95% uptime guarantee. It creates dynamic GIF, JPEG or 1 bit BMP
images that are stored on IDAutomation servers or streamed directly
into an application. This service can easily create barcodes in any
application or operating system that can access a URL, with implementation
as easy as using the IMG tag. This service can also be used as a hosted
version of the IDAutomation
Java Barcode Servlet or the
Barcode
Server for IIS.
Once an order is processed, the email address associated with the
order will receive an email containing a
unique URL for the Dynamic
Barcode Generator Service. You may test this URL by copying and pasting
the full URL into a web browser. Load the page and a default barcode
image will be created.
For example, clicking
http://www.bcgen.com/demo/linear-dbgs.aspx
creates a demo barcode image. This unique URL should be used in place
of the demo URL and implemented as described in the
Streaming Barcode Implementation section of the Barcode Server for
IIS manual.
The Dynamic Barcode Generator Service may be customized according to
the available
parameters.
The Barcode Image Creators are JavaScript driven HTML webpages that
allow easy generation of barcodes from the web with several options.
- After your order is approved,
download the Barcode Creator Templates. Within this ZIP file,
extract the barcode creator files that are to be customized.
- Open this file in a webpage editor or a text editor and locate
the line starting with "var myurl = " and replace the name of this
file in quotes with your unique URL.
- Open the template file locally in your browser and verify the
barcode appears without the watermark. The webpage may be run locally
or from a web server. Internet access is required when running the
templates locally because the actual barcode is streamed into the
template from BCGen.com.
- To further customize the template with default values and other
options offered in the
available properties and parameters, modify the HTML and onApply()
JavaScript function from within the template file.
