Create Stop command missing | Printronix ThermaLine Series manual

66CREATE page starting column PAGE SC out of bounds

When you specify the position of the page parameters in the Create command, the column position specified will place the page number outside the form boundaries. When this error occurs, the IGP/PGL will automatically revert to the Normal mode.

67CREATE STOP command missing

This error occurs when the IGP/PGL receives a new function command, an End command, or a mode command without receiving a Stop command. The IGP/PGL will continue to process subsequent commands correctly.

68Insufficient memory to store the SETUP program

No more room in the IGP/PGL memory exists for storing the SETUP routine.

69Insufficient memory to store the form

The directory is full, or no more room exists in the IGP/PGL memory for another form. When this occurs, the IGP/PGL automatically reverts to the Normal mode. To create space in the IGP/PGL memory, delete forms that are no longer required.
