Field Number, Parameter, Error Number, FMT-1/BCH-2 | Monarch 9830

Status2	represents the MPCLII field that the error
B- Field Type	occurred on. If the packet has no fields,
	Status2 A will be replicated. If the error
	occurs before the field is identified a question
	mark is sent. Since the batch data is
	variable, a D is sent to indicate data.
Status2	represents the field number within each
C- Field Number	packet. The packet header is the first field
	and each subsequent field is indicated by the
	field separator.
Status2	represents the parameter within the field that
D- Parameter	the error occurred. The numbering begins
	after the field identifier.
Status2	is the error that coincides with the error
E- Error Number	numbers presented in Chapter 8, "Diagnostics
	and Errors."
"FMT-1/BCH-2"	The format or batch number is returned.

If more than one error occurred then only the most serious error will be acknowledged.

{J,"","F,B,4,6,33","FMT-1","BCH-2"}

Indicates that an error occurred on a bar code (B) field within a format (F) packet. The bar code field is the fourth (4) field in the packet. The error occurred in the sixth (6) parameter of the field. Error number 33 means the bar code density is invalid.

To clear an error, press CLEAR (ESCAPE/CLEAR) or ENTER (ENTER/PAUSE), depending on your printer. An ENQ can also clear errors numbered less than 500. Once the error is corrected, a job request can be sent. The printer cannot accept another job request until the error is resolved.
