6 What to do if...

If the CM-24/12 doesn't run...
Is the CM-24/12 power on?
Turn on the power (refer to "3-4 Turning on the Power").
Is the unit in SETUP status (the SETUP LED is lit)?
If the SETUP LED is not illuminated, make sure the sheet is
loaded correctly and press the SETUP key to illuminate the
SETUP LED.
Is the PAUSE LED illuminated?
If the PAUSE key has been pressed and the PAUSE LED is lit
up, the unit has been paused (refer to "3-8 Downloading
Cutting Data Pausing Cutting Operations").
resume cutting, press the PAUSE key again. The PAUSE LED
is extinguished, and cutting resumes. If you want to termi-
nate cutting, first stop the transmission of cutting instructions
from the computer to the CM-24/12. Then press the SETUP
key. This deletes the cutting instructions that have already
been sent from the computer to the CM-24/12, and cutting is
stopped.
If connected via the serial port, do the communication
parameters for the CM-24/12 match those of the com-
puter?
Set the DIP switches correctly (refer to "3-2 DIP Switch
Settings").
Is the computer set up correctly?
Check the following items:
- DIP switches
- Memory switches
- Interface board
- Communication parameters
- Other settings
Read the computer user's manual and set it up correctly.
The POWER/ERROR LED is blinking
If there is an error in the data downloaded to the CM-24/12 from the computer, the CM-24/12 generates an error (the POWER/ERROR
LED begins to blink), and cutting cannot be carried out. The error can be canceled by switching off the power. After turning off the
power, check the following.
If you are using application software, has the correct
output device been selected? (Using with MS-DOS.)
Select "CM-24/12" as the output device. If this selection is
not available, select any model in the PNC-960, PNC-910,
PNC-950, PNC-900, or PNC-1100.
