Fax Error Codes
Fax service methods return an HRESULT value indicating success or failure. If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns a Component Object Model (COM)-defined error code.
You should not check directly for success or failure. Use the COM SUCCEEDED and FAILED macros instead.
The fax service extended COM API supports the IErrorInfo interface when reporting errors.
Methods that include remote procedure call (RPC) calls as part of their implementation can return any type of RPC error (Microsoft Win32 error) disguised as an HRESULT.
In addition, there are error codes that are specific to the fax service, as shown in the following table.
