Using a PostScript error handler
The error handling utility is useful for diagnosing problems when a job 
doesn’t 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 also be used by programmers for debugging 
PostScript code.         
To turn on the error handler, refer to the following instructions.  To turn off 
the error handler, follow the instructions on page 9-23 to reset the printer.
