Error Action
63
The printer remains in a fault condition until you press the PAUSE
key. This clears the error message and takes the printer offline.
You must correct any condition that may have caused the fault.
When ready, the printer can be put back online and it will resume
printing where it left off.
Overstrike
Use Overstrike mode when you want bad labels to be marked, but
not reprinted (i.e., when using pre-numbered labels).
If the system detects a bar code failure, the print job stops, the
printer status indicator lamp flashes, the alarm sounds, and the
appropriate error message displays.
Without pausing, the printer then automatically reverses to the top
of the form containing the failing bar code. It then prints an
obliterating pattern over the form and any other forms partially
printed prior to the physical stop. By default, the obliterating pattern
is a grid of fine lines which clearly marks the label as bad but allows
you to read what was originally printed.
In the VALIDATOR menu, the Overstrike Style options are: Grid,
Grey, Checkerboard, or Error Type Msg.
NOTE: To see the error message printed on the bad label as the
Overstrike Style, select the Error Type Msg option.
After the overstrike printing, the printer clears the error message
and stops the alarm, then resumes normal printing at the point the
job was stopped. The overprinted labels are lost and a separate
print command is required to resend them from the host, if needed.
Retry Form
This mode is similar to the Overstrike mode, however, instead of
resuming printing where the printer had left off, the printer will
attempt to reprint the bad form.
NOTE: The number of times the printer will attempt to reprint the
bad form is determined by the Num Retry setting. See
“Num Retry” on page 52.
