| "Out of Memory at Line 2843" | The print job has a corrupt command line specific to this printer’s firmware. | Service Release 1 includes a hotfix. Re-run the SR1 installer and select "Repair." |
| "Communication Timeout" | The B2843’s 128MB buffer is filling up. | Reduce the "Print Quality" from 6 (High) to 5 (Medium) in the driver settings. |
| "Barcode not scannable" | The B2843 is printing too fast for the 300dpi head in MPT mode. | Force a Speed-down command in Bartender: ~SS6 to ~SS4. | bartender 100 sr1 b2843 mpt
