Appendix A — Error-Handling

Error recovery/output

Th

  e normal action at any error is to stop in a waiting loop to recover the 

error feature. At this “Error Waiting Loop” only command 

^ee

 and 

^@

 

can be performed and executed.

Th

  e error recovery, often performed by pressing the FEED key, releases 

the error and sends recovery information on the serial line (RS-232 or 
USB), normally <XON>.

See also commands 

USA
