Error code documentation for DTC printer firmware version 13.47

Introduction

This is the automatically generated error code documentation for version 13.47 of the DTC printer firmware. A table of attributes for each error is given, followed by documentation for each instance of each error code.

For each error code, the attributes table has the following fields:

Retriable:
Whether the error dialog shows a "Retry/OK" button. Pressing this button will clear the error, reinitialise the print engine (clear card, read film tags, align ribbon) and restart any print job that might have been in progress when the error was raised.
Cancellable:
Whether the error dialog shows a "Cancel" button. Pressing this button will clear the error, reinitialise the print engine (clear card, read film tags, align ribbons) and delete any print job that might have been in progress when the error was raised.
Retried on closing cover:
Whether closing the printer cover will trigger a "Retry/OK" action as described above.
Priority:
Higher priority errors will take precidence over lower priority errors on the display.
Displayed message:
The English version of the text shown in the error dialog on the LCD.

You can navigate to an error instance by clicking on an entry in the attributes table below and scrolling down to a particular instance, or by using the following form:
