MPCLII Packet Reference Manual

Job Response

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, see error 8 for an explanation.
