Using a PostScript error handler

The error handling utility is useful for diagnosing problems when a job doesnÕt print. This utility installs a PostScript error-handling function in the printer to help determine the cause of some PostScript printing problems. PostScript errors are printed on a page with other status information when an error occurs. This utility can be useful to programmers for debugging PostScript code.

You can enable and disable the error handler through the printerÕs front panel menu (Printer Defaults menu), through PhaserLink software (refer to the PhaserShare Network Cards and Software System Administrator Manual), or a PostScript utility Þle (refer to the printerÕs CD-ROM).

Once youÕve enabled the error handler through the front panel or through PhaserLink software, the error handler remains active until you manually disable it. Cycling the printerÕs power does not disable the error handler. If you use a PostScript utility Þle to enable the error handler, you can disable it by cycling the printerÕs power.
