25- Main Error Messages in Bar Codes
BarDIMM features a built-in debugging system for your bar codes. When an error
condition occurs , a
X
is printed on top of the bars and the following error messages appear
automatically under the bars. Most error messages are self-explicit.
Here are the main error messages.
!Err: Char=nn
Symbologies: All
An invalid character was entered in the string to be printed as a bar code. ‘nn’ is the ASCII
value of that character. Such an error occurs for example if you include a letter in a
numeric-only bar code like EAN or 25.
Action: verify the data for the barcode.
!Err: Odd
Symbologies: 2of5 Interleaved, with/without CHK, Code 128C
The string you try to print in 2 of 5 Interleaved format has an odd number of digits. With
25 interleaved and 128C barcodes, digits are grouped by pair. Note that if you use the 25
Interleaved with checksum calculation, you must send an odd number of digits as the
checksum digit will round it to an even number of digits.
Action: verify the string size, and send an even or odd number of digits
!Err: Length
Symbologies: All
Invalid length for data to be printed as a bar code. Can mean data string is too short or too
long. Please read the tables and barcode formats characteristics pages in this manual.
Action:
Verify if the data length fit the symbology specs
!Err: NonZero
and
!Err: InvVal
Symbology: UPC-E
There is a minimum of four zeros in a UPC-E barcode, and some positions must have very
specific values. If BarDIMM finds an unexpected value, this error message is printed.
Action: Verify if the data for the barcode fit the UPC-E symbology specs
!Err: R/A/B
Symbology: French Postal 39 A/R
The French registered mail barcode must start with either ‘RA’ or ‘RB’. The string
supplied to BarDIMM to generate such a barcode does not start with those characters.
Action: Verify if the data for the barcode fits the symbology specs
