The following table lists all error codes that can be returned by TBarCode.

Operating system specific error codes are not included. The error codes are listed in hexadecimal notation (0x) and as enumerator constants (members of the enumeration e_ErrorCode).

Error code (Hex value and enumerator constant)	Description
0x00000000 eErr_OK	ErrOK = No Error
0x80070057 eErr_Invalid_Parameter	Invalid parameter/unsupported value. You have called an API function with a not allowed or not supported value. Examples: Calling a DLL function with a bar code handle of NULL (pBarCode = NULL) Print ratio string is supplied with two commas (e.g.: 1:1.22.3) A symbology specific check digit method (e.g. Code-128 check digit) is adjusted for another symbology (e.g. with Code-39)
0x8007000D eErr_Invalid_Data	Wrong character. TBarCode encountered a character in the input data, which cannot be encoded with the selected bar code type. The supported character set for a specific bar code type is described in the TEC-IT Barcode Reference. For basic information you may also refer to e_BarCType. The position of the wrong character can be retrieved with BCGetInvalidDataPos().
0x80090004 eErr_Bad_Len	Wrong number of input characters. The bar code type requires a specific number of input characters (see also description in e_BarCType). You can retrieve the required data length with BCGetMaxLenOfData().
0x80090005 eErr_Bad_Len_CC	Invalid number of input characters in combination with Composite Component. This error is returned by GS1 128 Composite Symbology if the number of symbol characters in the linear component is less than 9 (too small).
0x8007007A eErr_Too_Many_Characters	Input string too long. This error occurs in the following cases: The maximum data capacity for a specific bar code type has been reached. For 2D codes the maximum number of characters depends on the mix of numeric with alphanumeric characters (or binary values). So only after generating the internal data structure for the bar code it can be said if the data fits into the symbol or not. If the sort of data used for encoding is known (numeric only, alphanumeric only, binary only) the maximum data limit per symbol can be found in the Barcode Reference. When creating multiple bar codes with Structured Append, the size for the bar code is too small to hold the "Struct Append" data (index, total) and the data itself. The user has passed more than 10000 characters for a single barcode. Internal error: The generated bar space pattern is too large to fit into the internal buffer (can occur if a very large Quiet Zone has been set) Internal error: ZLib compression requires a more buffer
0x80040140 eErr_Draw	Barcode does not fit into bounding rectangle. See BCSetMustFit().
0x800710D2 eErr_Empty	No input characters.
0x80070032 eErr_Not_Supported	Composite Component not supported for selected bar code type. You have adjusted an unsupported combination of linear component and 2D component (e.g. Code 39 with CC-A or GS1 DataBar (RSS-14) with CC-C). You can check if a composite component is supported for the actual bar code type with BCIsCompositeComponentAllowed() and BCIsCompositeAllowed(). For possible CC combinations please check out the TEC-IT Barcode Reference.
0x80004001 eErr_Not_Implemented	Not implemented (reserved for future use). See BCSetBCType().
0x8000007E eErr_Module_NotFound	External library is missing. You tried to call an API function, which requires an external library (e.g. ZLib DLL for data compression).
0x8000065A eErr_BCCreateNotCalled	BCCreate must be called before. You tried to call BCDraw() without having created the internal bar code structure (BCCreate()).
0x8007203C eErr_InvalidCodePage	Invalid code page (code page not available) or invalid characters.
0x8007000B eErr_BadFormat	Invalid data format. Please examine the specification.
0x8009700C eErr_WrongCheckDigit	Wrong check digit in input data. Note that user supplied check digits are verified only with check digit method eCDStandard and fixed length bar code data.
0x800719E2 eErr_QuietZoneTooSmall	Quiet zone too small for vertical bearer bars.
0x800736E0 eErr_InvalidHexDigit	Invalid character for hexadecimal digit.
0x8007000E eErr_OutOfMemory	Out of memory.
