J o b R e s p o n s e

The Job Response varies, depending on the type of request sent to the printer. The following syntax is the response for a Job 0, 1, or 2 request.

Syntax

{J,Status1,Status2,"FMT-1","BCH-2"}

Status1

These errors stop the print job. Examples

 

include out of stock, supply faults, or data

 

formatting errors. These errors are numbered

 

less than 24 on the "Job Status 0, 1, 2

 

Response Table," later in this chapter.

Status2

These are errors in the syntax of the MPCL

 

data stream. Printing does not stop, but the

 

information may not print properly. These

 

errors are numbered greater than 24 on the

 

"Job Status 0, 1, 2 Response Table," later in

 

this chapter.

FMT-1/BCH-2

The format or batch number is returned.

Here is an example of a response returned to a J 0, 1, 2 request:

{J,8,0,"FMT-1","BCH-2"}

Indicates that a portion of the format extends off the tag in format 1, batch 2. Refer to the "Job Status 0, 1, 2 Response Table" later in this chapter for brief explanations for J, 0, 1, 2 requests. In the above example, refer to error 8 for an explanation.
