Hi @SaravanaAnandan,

please have a look at the BCOCA specification (you may find it at afpcinc.org). I added an example on how to create a 2D datamatrix code at

to get you started. This is how it looks like:

Hi, Thank you so much for the information. Can you please tell me how to create USPS bar code like the one in the attached image. Thanks & Regards, Saravana Anandan

I believe this can be achieved by changing the barcode type:

    BDD bdd = new AfpBuilder()
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__UBASE, BDDUBASE.CONST10IN_VALUE)
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__RESERVED, 0)
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__XUPUB, 3000) // 300 dpi
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__YUPUB, 300)
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__XEXTENT, 65535)
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__YEXTENT, 65535)
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__RESERVED2, 0)
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__TYPE, BDDTYPE.CONST_POSTNET_VALUE)
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__MOD, 1)
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__LID, 255)
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__COLOR, BDDCOLOR.CONST_DEVICEDEFAULT_VALUE)
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__MODULEWIDTH, 255)
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__ELEMENTHEIGHT, 65535)
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__MULT, 1)
            .with(AfplibPackage.BDD__WENE, 230)
            .create(BDD.class);

and of course the data

byte[] data = new byte[] { 0xf1,  0xf2,  0xf3,  0xf4,  0xf5,  0xf6,  0xf7,  0xf8,  0xf9 };

I haven't verified so try and see if it works.
