E_IMAPI_RECORDER_INVALID_MODE_PARAMETERS

IMAPI received a device response indicating that parameters supplied for a MODE SELECT command are not supported in that combination. This is more specific than a missing mode page: the relevant mode-page mechanism exists, but the selected values cannot be applied together.

Compare requested settings with device-supported/current values

  • Capture the operation and requested write/media settings that led to MODE SELECT.
  • Enumerate supported mode pages and current device capabilities for the same recorder.
  • Do not retry the identical parameter combination without changing configuration.

Write speed and rotational control are examples of settings that IMAPI can negotiate automatically, but lower-level mode configuration still depends on the recorder. The useful evidence is the device model/revision and requested setting set. Rebuilding the data image is unrelated unless the application changes recorder configuration based on image properties.
