Bar Code Failures

Error Messages

The validator can detect a number of errors. When one of these
errors occurs, the validator alerts the printer to perform the currently
selected error action (see "Error Action" on page 79) and show the
appropriate error message on the printer display. Validator error
messages are explained in Table 6.

Table 6. Message List
Explanation
This message appears when
at least one label in a batch of
labels has a data validation
error.
NOTE:
This message appears only
when Validator Action is set to
Grade&Report.
Data validation error: the bar
code is not properly encoded.
For example, a check sum is
incorrect, a required number
of characters is not met, or
the required terminator
characters are not included.
This problem is almost
always caused by incorrect
form or host application
design.
Solution
1. Press PAUSE to clear
the message.
2. Manually scan all the
bar codes in the label
batch, then reprint the
bad labels.
Fix the application so it
sends data in the correct
bar code format.
