Intermec EasyCoder 601 XP – Service Manual Ed. 3
Description:
An error message appears in the display window or is returned
via a serial port.
- The printer stops functioning
- The Error LED is usually lit.
• Consult the Intermec Fingerprint 7.31 Reference Manual for the
meaning of the different error codes and use that information to
correct the error.
Considering the printer's mode or running program, there are
different ways of giving the error message.
Immediate Mode
• The firmware can detect and return three error conditions,
provided the printhead is lowered and a paper feed is executed.
- Error 1005 ("Out of paper")
- Error 1027 ("Out of transfer ribbon")
- Error 1031 ("Next label not found")
Programming Mode
• At every erroneous instruction the printer transmits an error code
on the selected standard OUT channel (serial communication
only), provided the verbosity is not turned off. The same applies
if programming errors are detected when the program is run.
• When a program is executed, the same errors as in the Immediate
Mode will be returned and the execution stops. Taking care of
this requires some kind of error handler, e.g. ERRHAND.PRG.
Intermec Direct Protocol
• Five error conditions can be detected. Note that verbosity is off
in the Intermec Direct Protocol by default:
- Error 1005 ("Out of paper")
- Error 1006 ("No field to print")
- Error 1022 ("Head lifted")
- Error 1027 ("Out of transfer ribbon")
- Error 1031 ("Next label not found")
The Intermec Direct Protocol is provided with an error-handler
that can be designed to work according to the customer's
requirements. Refer to the Intermec Direct Protocol 7.31 Pro-
grammer's Guide.
Firmware Error
• In case the CPU is unable to access data on a given address, the
internal program will light up the red error LED independently
of any error handling program.
