If the Java Barcode Package was downloaded before the December 2003 release, set the TEXT color to be the same as the background color. Example:

• For the servlet and applet: BARCODE=1235678&FONT_COLOR=WHITE
• Java API: bc.fontColor = java.awt.Color.white;

In December 2003, the Java Barcode Package was updated with the following improvements:

• The file quality of the JPEG images has been improved, and the appearance of gray dots in the image background on select browsers has been resolved.
• GIF images are now allowed (this was enabled after the Unisys GIF patent expired)
• A new auto-size feature has been added to size the images and JPEG files for servlet operation.
• Text displayed under the barcode can now be easily disabled.
