Printer Detected Errors (Continued)
Error: Image System Error reported by the imaging
sub-system indicating a
memory shortage or other
graphics problem.
Press the FEED key to
remove current print job.
Cycle power on the printer.
Verify communications
settings are correct. Re-send
print job.
Error: Data Format The printer has detected a data
format or parity error on the
serial port. This could be
caused by improper settings
between host and printer or a
glitch in data transmission
such as a PC being powered
up.
Press the FEED key to clear
the error and print buffer.
Resend the print job. If the
error occurs again verify baud
rate, data bits, and parity
settings match host and cable
pin out are correct.
Error: Data Overrun
This error is unlikely to occur
and would indicate data is
being transmitted to the printer
faster than it can be processed.
If this error does occur it
might indicate a faulty parallel
cable or other communication
problem.
Press the FEED key then
cycle power on the printer. If
the error occurs again verify
all communication features
are set to match host and
quality interface cables
correctly pinned out are used.
Error: Buffer Overflow
This error indicates the
printers incoming print buffer
(FIFO) has overflowed. The
most common cause of this
error is improper handshaking
between the printer and host
due to improper settings or
improper cable.
Press the FEED key and re-
send the print job. If the error
occurs again verify all
communication features are
set to match host and quality
interface cables correctly
pinned out are used.
