Printronix T5000R user manual Retry Form, Stop & Retry

Chapter 2 Bar Code Failures

If more than one form is overstruck, only the first overstruck form is lost (the one with the missing or bad bar code), and a separate print command is required to resend it from the host, if needed. The rest of the overstruck forms are automatically resent.

Retry Form

This mode is similar to the Overstrike mode, however, instead of resuming printing where the printer had left off, the printer will attempt to reprint the bad form.

NOTE: The number of times the printer will attempt to reprint the bad form is determined by the Num Retry setting. See “Num Retry” on page 54.

The printer will stop, indicate an error, and overstrike as described on page 81. Then it will skip a number of blank labels, depending on the setting for Skip Labels (see “Setting For Skip Labels” on page 52). It will then slew to the next top of a blank form and reprint the bad form and any other overstruck forms (see “Forms Printed After an Error Detection” on page 80).

Once the Num Retry counter has been exhausted, the print job stops completely. After you clear the error message, the printer will print the same label or the next label, depending on the setting for Max Retry Action (see “Max Retry Action” on page 54).

Stop & Retry

This mode is similar to the Stop mode: the printer will stop printing and display the error message. After you clear the error message, it will then skip a number of blank labels, depending on the setting for Skip Labels (see “Setting For Skip Labels” on page 52). Then it will slew to the next top of a blank form and reprint the bad form and any other forms printed prior to the physical stop (see “Forms Printed After an Error Detection” on page 80).

NOTE: The number of times the printer will attempt to reprint the bad form is determined by the Num Retry setting. See “Num Retry” on page 54.

The printer will stop after the specified Num Retry attempts. After you clear the error message, the printer will print the same label or the next label, depending on the setting for Max Retry Action (see “Max Retry Action” on page 54).
