It will then slew to the next top of a blank form and reprint the same
form or go to the next form, depending on the setting for Max Retry
Action (see “Max Retry Action” on page 63).
NOTE: The only difference between Rescan Form and
Rescan&Stop is that when a form still fails after all the
rescans, Rescan Form will overstrike the bad form,
whereas Rescan&Stop will not.
Error Messages
The validator can detect a number of errors. When one of these
errors occurs, the validator alerts the printer to perform the currently
selected error action (see “Validator Action (Error Action)” on
page 90) and show the appropriate error message on the printer
display. Validator error messages are explained in Table 6.
Table 6. Message List
Message Explanation Solution
Bar code fails
Job has errors
This message appears when
at least one label in a batch of
labels has a data validation
error.
NOTE:
This message appears only
when Validator Action is set to
Grade&Report.
1. Press PAUSE to clear
the message.
2. Manually scan all the
bar codes in the label
batch, then reprint the
bad labels.
Bar Code Improper
Data Format
Data validation error: the bar
code is not properly encoded.
For example, a check sum is
incorrect, a required number
of characters is not met, or
the required terminator
characters are not included.
This problem is almost
always caused by incorrect
form or host application
design. Fix the application so it
sends data in the correct
bar code format.
