ABSTRACT:
A printer or plotter for providing printed representation of text and graphics, which further provides a specific error code signal returned to the host system. The error signals comprise fatal and nonfatal classes of system errors. The system of the data output device provides a large number of specific error conditions, to provide a specific error status indication to the system host. Upon occurrence of certain recoverable conditions for nonfatal errors, when recognized by the host system, the host computer may invoke a procedure to reset the data output device, and adjust its output data flow accordingly to provide a corrective measure in operation of the host computer with the data output device according to the present invention.
