15. Error Handling

58
By default, the Intermec Direct Protocol error handler handles
four error conditions:
• Out of paper
• Head lifted
• Out of transfer ribbon
• Next label not found
All other errors are ignored unless specifi ed by an ERROR com-
mand.
When an error occurs, the standard IN channel is fl agged as busy
and the Power LED changes from green to red. The message
specifi ed for the error by the ERROR command is sent to the
standard OUT channel. In the case of the four error conditions
listed above, a standard message in English will be sent to the
host computer if no other message is specifi ed by an ERROR
command.
When an error occurs, press the <Feed> button to acknowledge
the error, then correct it, either in the setup or physically, for
example by changing the transfer ribbon.
The ERROR command activates error-handling for the specifi ed
error type and allows you to write an error message, which will
be transmitted 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>
