Intermec Printer Language (IPL) Developer’s Guide

21

Quantity or batch count out of range.

Quantity of labels or number of batches should be between 1 and

9999.

22

Field increment/decrement out of range.

Quantity should be between 1 and 9999.

25

Invalid format transmission syntax.

Check the “Format, Transmit” command syntax.

26

Invalid page transmission syntax.

Check the “Page, Transmit” command syntax.

27

Invalid font transmission syntax.

Check the “Font, Transmit” command syntax.

28

Invalid UDC transmission syntax.

Check the “User-Defined Characters, Transmit” command

syntax.

33

Invalid field delimiters.

Check for all pairs of field delimiters and make sure both are

numeric, or both are alphanumeric.

34

Invalid escape command.

Correct the escape command syntax.

35

Invalid data shift command.

Correct the shift command syntax.

36

Invalid or undefined format number.

Verify that the format numbers are between 0 and 19.

37

Insufficient room in RAM to print format.

Reduce the number of data fields in the format or add more

DRAM.

38

Invalid or undefined field number.

Verify the field number in the label format.

41

Syntax error for program commands.

Check the program command for proper syntax.

42

Insufficient room in RAM to store format.

Empty the buffer contents. If the format still does not fit, delete

some fields or other data from the format. You may have to

remove or reduce the UDCs, formats, or fonts if necessary.

To determine the amount of installed and available memory,

send the “Memory Usage, Transmit” command.

43

Too many fields in label format.

You can use up to 200 fields in a format and each field can use up

to 250 characters. Reduce field size or delete some fields.

46

Undefined statement.

Check the statement syntax.

52

Invalid UDC/UDF bitmap cell height/width

or intercharacter space.

Verify that the UDC/UDF bitmap cell height/width or

intercharacter space is within the specified values for

n

. For more

information, see these commands in the

IPL Command Reference

Manual

:

•

“Bitmap Cell Height for Graphic or UDF, Define”

•

“User-Defined Character Field, Create or Edit”

•

“Intercharacter Space for UDF, Define”

53

Not enough room in RAM to store UDC or

UDF.

Remove or reduce formats, fonts, or UDCs.

54

Invalid UDC command syntax.

Correct the UDC command syntax.

55

Not enough room in RAM to store

downloaded font.

Add more printer RAM.

56

Flash file system error.

57

Invalid parameter.

Correct the syntax.

60

No RFID support.

The printer is unable to access the RFID module. Contact your

local Intermec representative.

61

No RFID tag found.

The RFID module has determined that the printer does not have

RFID media loaded. Load RFID media. Verify that the

TAGADJUST value aligns the tag over the antenna. For help, see

the “RFID Parameters, Set” command in the

IPL Command

Reference Manual

.
