Error Lists
Host communications error
• Host communications errors are errors that occur in communications between the host device and ID Con-
troller.
• Data Carrier communications errors are errors that occur in communications between a Read/Write Head
and the ID Controller.
• All of these errors are recorded in the ID Controller and error codes are displayed on the monitor display. The
recorded errors can also be read using the ERROR READ command (CF).
• These warnings are not recorded in the ID Controller.

70
Data Carrier commu-
nications error
An error occurred in communications between a Read/Write Head and Data
Carrier.
• Problem in setting, e.g., passing speed or distance.
• Malfunction due to obstacle
71 Mismatch error Read or write processing was not performed correctly.
72 Data Carrier missing
There was no Data Carrier in the communication area when a read or write was
executed.
76 Copy error Copy processing was not performed correctly.
7A Address error
An address exceeding the Data Carrier memory was specified. The area start
address was not specified correctly for the MDS/MDL command.
7C
Read/Write Head not
connected
A Read/Write Head is not connected.
7D Write-protected
The manufacturing date area or a right-protected area was specified for a Write
Command.
Note: If a Data Carrier communications error (error code 70), mismatch error (error code 71), or copy error
(error code 76) occurs during execution of a Write Command, the addresses specified to be written for
the command may be partially or completely overwritten. The data that is overwritten may not be the
data specified for the Write Command. If a Data Carrier communications error (error code 70), mismatch
error (error code 71), or copy error (error code 76) occurs during execution of a Write Command,
continue retry processing from the host device until the command is completed with no error. No data
other than the addresses specified to be written in the command will be affected.
