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 v7.61, Programmer's Refer-
ence 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 dif-
ferent ways of giving the error message.
Immediate Mode
• The fi rmware can detect and return three error conditions, pro-
vided 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
• At every erroneous instruction the printer transmits an error
code on the selected standard OUT channel (serial communica-
tion 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 Imme-
diate Mode will be returned and the execution stops. Taking
care of this requires some kind of error handler, for example
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 fi eld 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-han-
dler that can be designed to work according to the customer's
requirements. Refer to the Intermec Direct Protocol v7.xx, Pro-
grammer's Reference Manual.
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.
