INVALID
TAPE
DATA
When invalid data (nontranslatable codes, OUT characters, and nongraphics)
is
read
from tape,
the
error code
086
is
displayed
on
the
status line.
The
5100
goes
to
the
home state, and
the
line containing invalid tape data
is
moved up
one
line.
At
this
time you can:
Enter
the
~TAPEIN
command
to
bypass
the
line with invalid data and continue
transmitting.
Enter new data from
the
keyboard, and press EXECUTE
to
transmit it
in
place
of
the
line with invalid data. Enter
the
~TAPEIN
command
to
continue
transmitting from tape.
Move
the
data
to
the
input line,
start
the
edit
operation, correct
the
data
if
desired, and press EXECUTE
to
transmit it. Enter
the
~TAPEI
N command
to
continue transmitting from tape.
OVERFLOW (OPTION T ONLY)
If a message larger
than
the
extended display
is
received by
the
5100,
the
error code
090
is
displayed on
the
status line and
the
data
is
not
printed
or
written on tape. The
last portion
of
the message
is
stored
in
the extended display and the first portion
is
lost. If
the
overflow data included
tab
or
line feed characters, some characters
in
the
extended display may
not
be valid.
PRINTER ERROR RECOVERY
If
option
T
is
specified and a printer error occurs during receive operations, the
printer stops and the
5100
goes
to
the home state. You can continue
the
receive
operation
or
retry
the
print operation with the following procedure:
1.
Move
the paper
to
a new line or page.
2.
Move
the
first line
to
be printed
to
the input line on the display screen.
3. Press
the
edit key
(CMD
and alphameric 2), and then press
the
print key
(CMD
and alphameric
7)
to
retry the print operation.
4. Press
the
home key
(CMD
and alphameric 8) and continue
the
receive
operation.
If
option
P
is
specified and a printer error occurs during receive operations,
the
printer stops,
the
rest
of
the
message
is
placed
in
the extended display, and the
5100
goes
to
the
home state. To continue, use
the
procedure described for
option
T.
