Print Error Message

The Print Error Message Screen is displayed by the Datamax printer

screen

whenever it detects a print error. You can display whatever message is

 

appropriate here for your environment.

button at the bottom of the window

As with the Welcome Screen (Section 3.2.1 – Welcome Screen), the Print Error Message Screen varies according to the display type available on the printer model selected for the given project.

Text Display

The Print Error Message editing window for a text display printer is as

 

shown here:

Line 1 and Line 2 are both editable. Both allow up to 20 characters of text.

By default, Line 1 displays the message Print Error.

By default, Line 2 displays the actions available to the user when a print error occurs.

When a print error occurs, two user actions are possible—exit the project or retry to print the label. These actions are initiated by pressing buttons on the front panel of the printer.

ƒThe project will exit when either the REV or ESC button on the left-hand side of the printer front panel is pressed.

ƒThe printer will retry to print the label when the ENT button on the right-hand side of the printer front panel is pressed.

You are not obligated to maintain this convention and may edit both lines of the screen to suit your environment.
