Forms Printed After an Error Detection
Because of physical differences between the location of the
printhead and the scanning beam, one or more forms may print after
a bad form (a form with a bar code error that the validator detected).
The number of forms printed after a bad form depends on the Label
Length, Print Speed, and Slew Speed settings in the MEDIA
CONTROL menu. Shorter forms and faster speeds tend to increase
the number of forms printed before the validator has a chance to
detect an error. Also, the validator may not detect an error on forms
that have bar codes near the bottom of the form until the next form
has already started printing.
Forms that print after a bad form are treated differently, depending
upon the error action mode selected (see Table 5). Modes that
require a reprint operation may need to reprint more than just the
bad form.
