Problem
Reading Status String does not
correctly reflect the printer errors.
When sending multiple labels
consecutively to the printer, the
printer acts sporadically.

be processed until the print job is
complete.
Corrective Action:
When disabling and enabling
immediate commands, it is best to
use feedback characters. With
feedback characters enabled, wait
until an Immediate Commands
Enabled response is sent by the
printer before sending an immediate
command. If it is not desired to have
feedback from all commands, it is
possible to enable and disable
feedback characters around the
command you desire a response
from.
Possible Cause:
The printer errors Printhead Open,
Out of Labels, Out of Ribbon and
Touch Cell Error are detected when
the printer performs an operation
such as printing. The status is set
during that operation. When a status
is requested, it does not actually test
for these conditions. It just sends the
status from the last print or feed
operation.
Corrective Action:
Test the printer status after a print or
feed operation to see if an error
occurred.
Possible Cause:
When sending data to the printer, it
is stored in a serial buffer until it can
be processed. If the printer is
printing a label, it cannot process the
serial buffer. The serial buffer will
overflow.
