Major code 81 (81xx)

Major Code 81 – Permanent device error (nonrecoverable).

Description: A nonrecoverable device-related error occurred during an I/O operation. Any attempt to continue using this printer device will probably fail again until the cause of the problem is found and corrected.

Action: The following general actions can be taken for each 81xx return code. Other specific actions are given in each return code description.

  • Continue processing without the printer device.
  • Close the file, correct the problem, and open the file again. If the operation is still unsuccessful, try it again only a limited number of times. (The number of times should be specified in your program.)

Several return codes indicate that an error condition must be corrected by varying the device off and on again.
