Using a PostScript error handler
The error handling utility is useful for diagnosing problems when a job
doesn’t print. This utility installs a PostScript error-handling function in the
printer to help determine the cause of some PostScript printing problems.
PostScript errors are printed on a page with other status information when
an error occurs. This utility can be useful to programmers for debugging
PostScript code.
To turn on the error handler, follow the instructions below. To turn off the
error handler, follow the instructions on page 8-23 to reset the printer.
