15. Error
Handling, cont'd.
Note that error handling and
error messages specified by
ERROR commands are not saved
in the printer's battery backed-
up memory, but must be trans-
mitted to the printer after each
power-up.

The ERROR command activates error-handling for the specified error
type and allows you to write an error message, which will be trans-
mitted back to the host computer (according to selected verbosity
and type of error message, see chapters 6.13 and 6.14):
ERROR <error number>, "<error message>"
<error number>
<error message>
Example:
ERROR 43,"MEMORY OVERFLOW"
Six error conditions are always handled without having to be acti-
vated by an ERROR command. The Power LED turns red and the
printer sends a message back to the computer on the serial channel.
• 1005 Out of paper
The printer waits for the printhead to be lifted and lowered, then
the error is cancelled.
• 1022 Head lifted
The printer waits for the printhead to be lowered, then a formfeed
is performed. If the error stopped a print operation, the operation
will be restarted automatically.
• 1027 Out of transfer ribbon (if thermal transfer printing is selected)
The printer waits for a ribbon to be loaded. If the error stopped a
print operation, the operation must be restarted.
• 1058 Transfer Ribbon fitted (if direct thermal printing is selected)
The printer waits for the ribbon to be removed. To clear the error
cobdition and go on, press the Feed key.
