4.2.3.35 >FIELD OFF IMAGE< (F0)
The “>FIELD OFF IMAGE<” response indicates that a fields size and placement coordinates
will not allow the field to fit on the print image or script layout while in text and verbose
modes. The given field that is being placed off the image will not be printed on to the
media. If the printer is configured for byte responses, the code ASCII 0xF0 will be issued
from the printer in response to an enquiry command.
4.2.3.36
>COMPOSITION ERROR< (F1)
This enquiry response is typically issued when the printer detects that the installed media is
not the proper size for the given script file. If the printer is configured for byte responses,
the code ASCII 0xF1 will be issued from the printer in response to an enquiry command.
4.2.3.37
>GRAPHIC TOO LARGE< (F2)
This enquiry response indicates that the graphic sent to the printer is larger than the
available memory while in text or verbose response sets. If the printer is configured for byte
responses, the code ASCII 0xF2 is issued from the printer in response to an enquiry
command.
4.2.3.38
>POWERED DOWN< (FF)
The “>POWERED DOWN<” response indicates that the printer’s power has been
interrupted while in text and verbose modes. If the printer is configured for byte responses,
the code ASCII 0xFF will be issued from the printer in response to an enquiry command.
This message also indicates that the printer was successful writing pending updates to flash
on a power loss situation.
4.3 Paused Mode
Paused Mode is when the printer has pending activity and has stopped, but is not in an
error condition. The indicator light is flashing amber in color when the printer is in Paused
Mode. The printer enters the Paused Mode by issuing the ^X command or by pressing the
front panel button while the printer is printing. The printer will remain paused until the ^X is
reissued, the button is pressed again, or the printer power is cycled. Additional examples of
the printers Paused Mode includes a label script that does not include a print command, or
after the printer fails to execute the pending data after an error condition.
4.4 Diagnostic Mode
Diagnostic Mode temporarily powers the printer using factory default parameters while
printing out the printer’s current configuration on what is called the Status Label. This
information is used to help diagnose and troubleshoot printer configuration issues. The
default baud rate is set to 9600 and is used when entering the diagnostic mode. The printer
continues using the factory default parameters until printer power is cycled. The printer will
then return to the previous configuration in use before entering the diagnostic mode.
