Data Errors

Call Technical Support if any error message is received that is not listed below.
Errors 001 to 499 are data errors. These errors are returned in response to a J,3 request. See
Chapter 7, "Status Polling," for more information. A data error indicates that incorrect data was
received from the host, causing the printer to ignore the entire print job. After checking the
packet and correcting the problem, transmit the print job again.
The following is a list of data errors. These errors occur because data in the format, batch,
check digit, font, or graphic packet is invalid.
