BarCode: Failed to load an image file with IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture

BarCode: Failed to load an image file with

IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture

Abstract

When reading a barcode, the batch aborts and the RRS log contains the error message:

BarCode: Failed to load an image file

Cause

A variety of issues can cause barcodes to abort the batch, included unsupported barcode types and corrupt images.

Resolving the problem

To resolve, do the following:

• Verify the image is a supported format for the Barcode/X engine. This engine accepts black and white images only, and does not support LZW compression.


• Check the size of the image and try loading it into various image viewers to see if it is corrupt.


• Check to see if another process or action is running that has the image open / locked.
