Chapter 7:
Understanding Messages
The MAXX 2 control pad message display provides status information and prompts during the
printing sequence. In most cases, the information and prompts are self-explanatory. This
chapter contains a list of messages you may see while operating the MAXX 2. The messages
may appear on lines 1, 2, 3, or 4 of the MAXX 2 display. This chapter divides the messages into
Status Messages and Error Messages. Each list is arranged alphabetically.
Note: If the suggested corrective action does not solve a problem, or if you see a message you do
not understand, please contact your distributor or Gerber Field Service.
Status messages
Status messages can be divided into two categories:
♦ information (abbreviated in the following table as I)
