‘FAULT HANDLING’ is used to determine the level of interaction, as well as the disposition of the
label when a fault (ribbon out, paper out, unreadable barcode, etc.) occurs.
Level –
Determines the printer’s action, the action required by the operator, and the
label’s reprint status with the following three selections:
Void and Retry
– Depending upon the RETRY COUNT, one of the following
actions when faulted:
If the Retry Count setting (see below) has not been
exceeded, ‘VOID’ is printed on the label in process and
reprinting occurs automatically;
If the Retry Count has been exceeded, printing stops and a
fault message is displayed. After the problem is corrected,
the FEED Key must be pressed to clear the fault. The label
in process is reprinted; or,
If the CANCEL Key is pressed, the operator now has the
option of canceling the reprint:
To allow the reprint, press the ESC Key; or, to cancel the
reprint, press the ENTER Key. (If the ENTER Key was
pressed, the operator now has the option of canceling the
entire label batch by pressing the ENTER key again
.)
Note: VOID will not be printed w hen insufficient space exists
for the height of the text (see Void Distance, below ) or
if the fault occurred after the entire label was
completed (i.e., w hen the l abel reaches its Present
Distance at or above the Top Of Form).
No Reprint
– Printing stops and a fault message is displayed. After the
problem is corrected, the FEED Key must be pressed to clear
the fault. The label in process is not reprinted.
Standard
– Printing stops and a fault message is displayed. After the
problem is corrected, the FEED Key must be pressed to clear
the fault. The label in process is reprinted. (This is the
default setting.)
Void Distance – .10 – 2.00
Sets the distance to backup the faulted label to print ‘VOID’
on its trailing edge, which also indirectly establishes the font
size of the void message. (The default setting is .50 inch.)
Retry Count – 0 – 3
Establishes the number of times the printer will attempt to
reprint a label. If the last label printed in this count has been
voided, the printer will stop and display a fault message.
(The default setting is 1.)
