Error Messages - Roland EGX-300 User Manual

2-6 Error Messages

An error message will appear if incoming data has any of the errors listed in table. Since the error is shown in the display for informa-
tional purposes, the data transfer continues and you are allowed to perform the next operation.
To get the error message to go away, press the [MENU] key.
Note that even though the error message is no longer displayed after you press the [MENU] key, the EGX-300 will retain in memory the
fact that the error occurred. To clear the error, switch the power off and back on. Occurrence of an error may make correct engraving
impossible.
Error message
Appears if an instruction that the EGX-300 cannot interpret is sent. This error is generated if an
instruction from the "mode2" set is sent when the unit has been set to recognize "mode1," or
viceversa. Change the setting for the recognized instruction set, using the control panel, and this error
should no longer occur.
Appears if the number of parameters differs from the permissible number.
Appears if the value specified for a parameter is out of the permissible range.
Appears if an unusable character is specified.
Appears if the polygon buffer is full.
Appears if an output instruction is sent from the computer during execution of a previous output
instruction. More precisely, there is a certain amount of delay between the moment an output
instruction is given and the instant actual output begins. This error message appears if the new output
request arrives during this delay time. (The delay time can be set using the [ESC].M instruction.)
Appears if a device control instruction that the EGX-300 cannot interpret is sent.
Appears if an invalid parameter has been specified for a device control instruction.
Appears if the value for a device control instruction parameter exceeds the permissible limit.
Appears if the number of parameters for a device control instruction is more than that permissible.
Appears if a framing error, parity error, or overrun error occurs at the time of data reception. (There is
a problem with one of these settings: Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits, or Data Bits. The protocol settings
for the EGX-300 must be made correctly in order to match the settings your computer is set to use.)
Appears if the I/O buffer has overflowed. (There is a problem with the connecting cable, or the
settings for Handshaking. Make sure you are using a cable appropriate for the computer being used.
Also, check that the setting for Handshaking is correct.)
Appears if an indeterminate communication error other than the I/O errors described above has
occurred.
