611Font, bar code or density is invalid. The font, bar code or density in the batch does not fit the format.

612The data in this line of the batch is either missing or does not match the format.

613Reference point off tag.

614Portion of field off tag. There may be an invalid character in the packet. Make sure you did not enter O for Ø.

615Bar code width is greater than 16 inches or the number of keywords for your PDF 417 bar code exceeds 928. Decrease the density or shorten the amount of data to print the bar code.

616A bad dot falls on a bar code and the dot cannot be shifted. A gray box is printed instead of the bar code. However, 2D bar codes still print on the 9825/9850 printers when bad dots are present within the bar code field.

618Magnification must be 1 to 7 or 4 to 255 for the scalable font.

619The JIS (16-bit) code for Kanji is invalid.

620Font and printhead dot density mismatch. A 300 dpi font is specified in the format, but a 203 dpi printhead is used in the printer or vice-versa. Check the font or change the printhead to correct the error.

621An error occurred opening the TrueType font file. Select a different font to download. If the error message persists, call Technical Support.

622Not enough memory to create the downloaded TrueType characters in the scalable (vector) fonts buffer. Reconfigure the printer’s memory and increase the scalable (vector) fonts buffer. Resend the font, format, and batch packet after reconfiguring the memory. See
