Symptom Possible Causes
Nothing is printed The printer writer is not started.
There are many spooled files in the output queue. (This is not
an error. You should wait for your turn, or increase the priority
of your spooled file.)
The printer is not an IPDS printer.
The printer is not configured for Advanced Function Printing.
The output queue that contains your spooled file is not
associated with an active printer writer.
The printer writer is waiting for a message reply.
You specified *ABSOLUTE for print fidelity and some errors
occurred. See the message queue of the printer writer or
specify *CONTENT for print fidelity.
The overlay size or page size exceeds the printable area. See
the manual of your printer for the size of the printable area. If
the offset values of the form definition are not zero, you must
add the values to check. The form definition name is specified
in the device description of the printer. See
Printer DeviceProgramming
for the offset values of the form definition.
You specified a font of font type 1 (specified with a font and
character identifier) or did not specify any font although the
printer supports only font type 2 (specified with a coded font)
and font type 3 (specified with a code page and a font
character set).
You specified a font of font type 2 (specified with a coded font)

printed The printer does not support the specified type of bar code.
The printer does not support the degree of rotation for bar

rotation must be specified for the bar code.)
If the bar code is printing a field in a database, the value or
length of the field is not correct for the bar code type.
Image (page
segment) is not
printed
The image is not in a library in the library list when the spooled
file is created.
The image was deleted before the spooled file was printed.
The printer does not support IO1 image, but the image was an
IO1 image.
Note: I01 and I0CA Function Set 10 are synonymous.
You specified rotation and the image went outside of the page.
The number of page segments exceeds the printer's allowable
maximum. Most printers allow a maximum of 127 page
segments in a page.
The page segment has no image in it.
A field in a database file is used in a page segment but the
value or the length of the field is not correct.
