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 v8.xx, Programmer's Reference Manual
or IPL Programming, Reference Manual for the meaning of the different
error codes and use that information to correct the error.
Depending on the fi rmware, printer's mode, or running program, there are
different ways of giving the error message.
Immediate Mode (Fingerprint only)
• The fi rmware can detect and return three error conditions, provided the
printhead is lowered and a media feed is executed.
- Error 1005 ("Out of paper")
- Error 1027 ("Out of transfer ribbon")
- Error 1031 ("Next label not found")
Programming Mode (Fingerprint only)
• At every erroneous instruction during programming, the printer
transmits an error code on the selected standard OUT channel (serial
communication only), provided the verbosity is not disabled. 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 detected. The execution stops and an error message
is transmitted. It is recommended to included some kind of error
handler in any custom-made application program, for example
ERRHAND.PRG.
Intermec Direct Protocol (Fingerprint only)
• Six error conditions can be detected. Note that by default verbosity is
off in the Intermec Direct Protocol.
- Error 1005 ("Out of paper")
- Error 1006 ("No fi eld to print")
- Error 1022 ("Head lifted")
- Error 1027 ("Out of transfer ribbon")
- Error 1031 ("Next label not found")
- Error 1606 ("Testfeed not done")
The Intermec Direct Protocol has a programmable error-handler. Refer
to the Intermec Direct Protocol v8.xx, Programmer's Reference Manual.
