4.9.6 Errors
There are three types of errors: recoverable errors that require some action by
you before they clear, non-recoverable errors that require servicing by an
authorized service provider, and a data receive error. Errors are indicated by and
audible buzzer and the indicators.
(1) Recoverable Errors
(2) Non-recoverable Errors
(3) Data Receive Error
This type of error is caused whenever a problem is encountered during data
receipt. The method used by the printer to recover from a data receive error
