designed to work according to the customer's requirements.
Refer to the Intermec EasyCoder 301 Direct Protocol – Pro-
grammer's Guide.
• At every erroneous instruction, the printer transmits an error
code on the selected standard OUT channel (serial communica-
tion only), provided the verbosity is not turned off. The same
applies if errors are detected during execution.
