Error Handling
Following are several options which define how errors are reported.
Error Msgs
•
Enable (factory default). Command syntax is checked and error
messages printed when command parameters are incorrect.
•
Disable . Error checking and error messages are suppressed.
Error Markers
•
Enable (factory default). Prints the following error markers for those
elements that print beyond the page boundaries:
>> for elements that begin off the right side of the page;
<< for elements that begin at the indicated position but end off the page;
♦
for elements where the starting position of the command contains an
error other than an off-page error.
Offpage Errors
•
Disable (factory default). Does not report errors for elements that start or
end beyond the right edge of the page.
•
Enable . Reports errors for elements that start or end beyond the right
edge of the page.
Barcode Errors
•
Enable (factory default). An error message will print when invalid barcode
data is encountered.
•
Disable . VGL will not print an error for illegal barcode data; the barcode
will be skipped.
NOTE: When the Barcode Errors option is disabled, the VGL emulation will
try to make the best use of invalid data by either truncating extra
digits or adding zeros to the end of barcode data to meet minimum
data length requirements for some barcodes. Not all errors will be
corrected.
Ignore / DB8 Setup
Following are several options which define character filtering and Data Bit 8.
Ignore Chars
•
Disable (factory default). Character filtering is not enabled.
•
Char 1 . Character 1 will be filtered. Select the option “Ignore CH#1” to
specify character 1.
•
Char 2 . Character 2 will be filtered. Select the option “Ignore CH#2” to
specify character 2.
•
Char 1 & 2 . Characters 1 & 2 will be filtered. Select the options “Ignore
CH#1” and “Ignore CH#2” to specify values for these characters.
