Identifying Barcode Processing Errors
Barcodes that are not entered correctly in most cases will not print. It can be difficult at
times to identify why. To help identify the problem there is a command that will return
the last barcode error in the form of a 16 bit error ID.
ASCII
ENQ <37>
Hexadecimal
5 25H
Decimal
5 37
Will return:
ACK <37> <42> <Error
7-0
><Error
15-8

Or
05H 25H 2AH <Error
7-0
><Error
15-8
