Chapter 2 Bar Code Failures
Error Messages
The validator can detect a number of errors. When one of these errors occurs, the validator alerts the printer to perform the currently selected error action (see “Error Action” on page 79) and show the appropriate error message on the printer display. Validator error messages are explained in Table 6.
