Paxar 9474 Printer User Manual


 
Error Notification
Data handling and error checking are resident in the printer. If an
error in transmission occurs, an error is displayed on the printer
keypad display. However, no message is sent to the host and
processing continues until the end of the transmission.
Certain errors may put the printer in offline mode. See Chapter 6,
"Error Messages," for a list of possible messages.
Data Transmission Errors
The printer displays errors that occur during data
transmission. Printer fault errors stop the machine, which will
not resume printing until the operator corrects the error
condition. All these messages take the system offline.
Incorrect Data Errors
The printer pauses when it receives incorrect data from the
host. During the pause, it displays a message and beeps.
After ten seconds, or when the operator presses e, the
printer resumes operation. Normally, the printer loses the
data that caused the error.
If the host or the communications line goes down during
transmission, the printer displays the message
Waiting for command terminator.
Press F1 to abort download.
If you press 1 , the batch or format data that was being sent will
be lost and must be retransmitted.
