(FH) Fault Handling –
This command determines the level of user intervention and the
disposition of the label being printed when a fault condition (ribbon out, media out, etc.) occurs.
Value Units / Interpretation Selection / Definition
Interaction Level,
where:
0 = No Reprint;
In No Reprint Mode (0), printing stops and a fault message is
displayed. After the problem is corrected, the FEED Key must be
pressed to clear the fault. The label in process is
not reprinted.
1 = Standard;
and,
In Standard Mode (1), printing stops and a fault message is
displayed. After the problem is corrected, the FEED Key must be
pressed to clear the fault. The label in process is reprinted.
L
2 = Void and Retry
In Void and Retry Mode (2), depending upon the RETRY COUNT,
one of the following actions when faulted:
•
If the Retry Count has not been exceeded, ‘VOID’ is printed on
the label in process and reprinting occurs automatically;
•
If the Retry Count has been exceeded, printing stops and a fault
message is displayed. After the problem is corrected, the FEED
Key must be pressed to clear the fault. The label in process is
reprinted; or,
•
If the CANCEL Key is pressed, the operator now has the option
of canceling the reprint:
To allow the reprint, press the ESCAPE Key or to cancel the
reprint, press the ENTER Key (the operator now has the option
of canceling the entire label batch by pressing the ENTER Key
again
.)
Note: VOID will not be printed when insufficient text space exists (see
VOID DISTANCE, below) or if the fault occurs after the label reaches its
Present Distance at, or above, the TOF).
D
Void Distance
(.10 - 2.00)
Sets the distance
(
.10 - 2.00
)
to backup the faulted label to print
‘VOID’ on its trailing edge, which also indirectly establishes the
font size of the void message.
R
Retry Count
(0 – 3)
Only used with the RFIF or Scanner option installed and operating.
Establishes the number of times (0 – 3) the printer will attempt to
reprint a label. If the last label printed in this count has been
voided, the printer will stop and display a fault message.
B
Enable / disable
Y,N
Retract from presented distance prior to feed-clear motion. This
option is intended for use with applicator equipment that may
require certain GPIO signals for proper operation.
Table 5-2: Fault Handling Command
Example:
<STX>KcFHD112<CR>
(The example configures the printer to back up and print a one-inch “VOID” message on a
label when a fault is detected; if two successive faults occur during the printing of that label
then the FEED Key must be pressed to clear the fault.)
