List of Error Messages

This section explains the various error messages that could be generated, along with their possible causes and remedies.
If an error message occurs, an X is printed on top of the bar code, and the error message appears automatically under the bar code.
!Err: Char=nn
Symbologies: All
Cause
An invalid character was entered. 'nn' is the ASCII value of that character. This error occurs if you include a letter in a bar code that requires numeric data only, such as EAN or 25.
Remedy
Verify the data for the bar code.
!Err: Odd
Symbologies: 2 of 5 Interleaved, Code 128C
Cause
The string you tried to print in the 2 of 5 Interleaved format has an odd number of digits. With the 2 of 5 Interleaved and Code 128C bar codes, digits are paired in groups. Note that if you use the 2 of 5 Interleaved bar code with a checksum calculation, you must send an odd number of digits, as the checksum digit will be rounded to an even number of digits.
Remedy
Verify the string size, and send an even or odd number of digits.
!Err: Length
Symbologies: All
Cause
An invalid length of data was entered for the bar code. This means that the data string is too short or too long.
Remedy
Verify that the data length conforms to the symbology specifications. (See "Sizing Parameters.")
!Err: NonZero and !Err: InvVal
Symbology: UPC-E
Cause
The Bar Code Printing function found an unexpected value in the UPC-E bar code.
Remedy
Make sure that there is a minimum of four zeros, and verify that the data conforms to the UPC-E symbology specifications. (See "1D Bar Codes.")
!Err: R/A/B
Symbology: French Postal 39 A/R
Cause
The string supplied to the Bar Code Printing function to generate the French Postal 39 bar code does not start with 'RA' or 'RB'.
Remedy
Verify that the data for the bar code conforms to the French Postal 39 symbology specifications. (See "1D Bar Codes.")
!Err: Fmt=00000000
Symbology: Australia Post 4 State 37-CUST
Cause
The Australia Post 4 State 37-CUST bar code encodes the DPID, an eight digit number. The DPID string supplied to the Bar Code Printing function to generate the 37-CUST bar code does not consist of eight digits.
Remedy
Verify the length of the DPID string. (See "1D Bar Codes.")
!Err: Fmt=00000000,<CustInfo>
Symbologies: Australia Post 4 State 52-FF-MET and 67-FF-MET
Cause
The Australia Post 4 State 52-FF-MET and 67-FF-MET bar codes encode the DPID, an eight digit number, and the customer information, which can be encoded using the N table if it only includes digits. Either the DPID string does not consist of eight digits, or there is no customer information defined in the string, or the comma separator is missing.
Remedy
Verify that the data for the bar code conforms to the symbology specifications. (See "1D Bar Codes.")
!Err: CustInfo: nonDigit
Symbologies: Australia Post 4 State 52-FF-MET and 67-FF-MET
Cause
The Australia Post 4 State 52-FF-MET and 67-FF-MET bar codes encode the DPID, an eight digit number, and the customer information, which can be encoded using the N table if it only includes digits. The customer information defined in the string supplied to the Bar Code Printing function includes at least one character that is not a digit.
Remedy
Verify the customer information data for the bar code, and make sure that the data conforms to the symbology specifications. (See "1D Bar Codes.")
!Err: CustInfo>NN (where NN is a value)
Symbologies: Australia Post 4 State 52-FF-MET and 67-FF-MET
Cause
The customer information section of the 52-FF-MET and 67-FF-MET bar codes has a defined maximum length depending on the N or C encoding table of the p parameter. The customer information defined in the string supplied to the Bar Code Printing function exceeds its maximum length.
Remedy
The maximum length is NN based on the encoding table of the p parameter. Make sure the customer information data adheres to this specification.
!Err: InvCharInCustInfo
Symbologies: Australia Post 4 State 52-FF-MET and 67-FF-MET
Cause
The customer information section of the 52-FF-MET and 67-FF-MET bar codes includes a predefined set of characters. The customer information defined in the string and supplied to the Bar Code Printing function, includes illegal characters.
Remedy
Verify the customer information data, and make sure that there are no illegal characters.
!Err: Codablock size
Symbologies: Codablock
Cause
The number of rows and columns indicated in the escape sequence do not leave enough room for data encoding.
Remedy
Increase the size of the columns and rows so that the encoded data fits properly. (See "2D Bar Codes.")
