Common Errors

Error 01: Unsupported SKU ID for the selected barcode type

This error means the SKU provided by you when creating the product doesn’t satisfy the encoding as per the barcode type.

The solution can be to edit the product, change the barcode type to “Code 128” save & try printing the label again.

Error 02: 000000 before the SKU while scanning the barcode

The main reason for this is in the barcode type EAN-13 or others, you need to change to Code-128 and it will work fine as the Code-128 has universal reading methods and is compatible with product SKU only.

So, to avoid issues with leading zeros in EAN-13 barcodes as it is scanning country code, company prefix, and other details,

Solution:

We recommend changing from any other barcode type from your product setting to Code 128 format and reprinting it.
