8.1  Error messages 

The “Alarm” error indications represent the occurrence of errors which have 

arisen while the system is working abnormal.     

 

When the error occurs, an 

“Error message” window will pop out on G-Mark 

software and the laser will be unable to fire until the problems are solved. 

 

Once the problem is solved, 

“OK” button must be pressed to close the 

message window.
