IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING ISSUES WITH THE ANY OF OUR SCORPIO UNITS, PLEASE FOLLOW TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS BELOW Yellow and Green LED’s simultaneously on lamination control board (Applies to all Scorpio models) Problem: Yellow and Green LED’s simultaneously on lamination control board. This will also create the following error: Cause: All Scorpio Digital Finishing Systems are equipped with two reflective sensors on the lamination module.
Page 35
Plotter error “E01017 Hardware X Position Alarm Power off then on Problem: The plotter displays an error “E01017 Hardware X Position Alarm Power off then on”. Cause: The plotter will give you this error after starting a job in Scorpio CM and the tensioner arm was not set-up to begin with or the tensioner arm was positioned too high after turning on the lamination module.
Page 36
Plotter error “E01019 Hardware Y Position Alarm Power off then on” Problem: The plotter displays an error “E01019 Hardware Y Position Alarm Power off then on”. Cause: This error occurs when the blade tray was moved from side to side by the user after loading the media onto the plotter and with the rear plotter lever in the up position.
Page 37
The Media or Lamination roll might be finished, please check it. Proceed with cutting? Problem: Yellow and Green light simultaneously on lamination control board. Cause: When both the yellow and green LEDs on lamination control panel are on, it would indicate that either the media or lamination sensor have picked up and error or the sensors may be out of sync and needs to be calibrated.
Page 38
Can’t load sensors Cause: Media/Lamination sensors might be not plugged in correctly or turned off. Fix: Check if sensors are powered up and plugged correctly into the black sensor box. Then Retry. If you do not want to keep activated the sensors, click Ignore. Error: plotter not found Cause: The plotter might be switched off or not properly connected.
Page 39
Please forward the media to the next black-mark Cause: The starting Y position of the cut is a negative value (you can see coordinates on plotter’s display when you move the media with arrows). Keep in mind also the offset influences the starting position of the cut. So, if you start the cut at Y coordinates 0, while you have an offset Y value of -10, you will still get this error.
