INVALID TAPE DATA
When invalid data (nontranslatable codes, OUT characters, and nongraphics) is read
from tape, the error code 086 is displayed on the status line. The 5100 goes to the
home state, and the line containing invalid tape data is moved up one line. At this
time you can:
• Enter the
~TAPEIN
command to bypass the line with invalid data and continue
transmitting.
•
Enter new data from the keyboard, and press EXECUTE to transmit it in place
of the line with invalid data. Enter the
~TAPEIN
command to continue
transmitting from tape.
• Move the data to the input line, start the edit operation, correct the data if
desired, and press EXECUTE to transmit it. Enter the
~TAPEI
N command to
continue transmitting from tape.
OVERFLOW (OPTION T ONLY)
If a message larger than the extended display is received by the 5100, the error code
090 is displayed on the status line and the data is not printed or written on tape. The
last portion of the message is stored in the extended display and the first portion is
lost. If the overflow data included tab or line feed characters, some characters
in the extended display may not be valid.
PRINTER ERROR RECOVERY
If option T is specified and a printer error occurs during receive operations, the
printer stops and the 5100 goes to the home state. You can continue the receive
operation or retry the print operation with the following procedure:
1.
Move the paper to a new line or page.
2.
Move the first line to be printed to the input line on the display screen.
3.
Press the edit key (CMD and alphameric 2), and then press the print key
(CMD and alphameric 7) to retry the print operation.
4.
Press the home key (CMD and alphameric 8) and continue the receive
operation.
If option P is specified and a printer error occurs during receive operations, the
printer stops, the rest of the message is placed in the extended display, and the
5100 goes to the home state. To continue, use the procedure described for
option T.
