If the DataMatrix Font Encoder determines that there is an format
issue in the input string, or the target size is too small to hold
the data encoded, it returns an error code in the Encode function.
The error code is expressed in COM HRESULT format.
A HRESULT is a 32-bit integer containing three parts: severity,
facility and error code. If you are using the ActiveX encoder,
some programming environments handle the error transparently and
displays an error message.
The most common error is that the target size is too small to hold the current data. This error won't appear when you set the target size to 0 (automatic size selection).
Morovia DataMatrix Fontware uses 81 as the facility code.
The Encoder ActiveX / DLL returns the following error codes:
