This section describes the error messages that may appear on the machine's display, and how to take action to

remedy the problem. If the action described here does not correct the problem or if an error message not descri-

bed here appears, contact your authorized Roland DG Corporation dealer.

ALIGN POINT POSITION INVALID

An attempt was made to set an align point at a location where the setting cannot be made.
No align point can be set such that the angle between the base point and the align point is too large. Reload the

media correctly, so that the angle is minimized, and then set the base point and the align points again to match

the crop marks.

OPTION DRYER IS NOT CONNECTED

When [OPTION DRYER] is set to "ENABLE" with no auxiliary drying unit connected to the printer.
Switch the sub power and main power off, and then connect the auxiliary drying unit to the printer.

TEMPERATURE IS TOO LOW **°C

The temperature of the location where the machine is installed has fallen below the ambient temperature at

which the machine can operate.
Operation cannot be continued. Turn off the sub power. The displayed temperature is the current ambient temper-

ature of the installation location. Bring the installed location to a temperature at which operation is possible (20 to

32°C [68 to 90°F]), allow the machine to come to room temperature, and then turn on the power.

TEMPERATURE IS TOO HIGH **°C

The temperature of the location where the machine is installed has risen above the ambient temperature at

which the machine can operate.
Operation cannot be continued. Turn off the sub power. The displayed temperature is the current ambient temper-

ature of the installation location. Bring the installed location to a temperature at which operation is possible (20 to

32°C [68 to 90°F]), allow the machine to come to room temperature, and then turn on the power.

CROPMARK ERROR NOT FOUND

Automatic detection of crop marks could not be accomplished.
Load the media at the correct position and perform detection of crop marks again. If repeating automatic crop-

mark detection results in an error again, perform manual crop-mark detection. If crop marks cannot be detected

even manually, try using [CROP SENSOR ADJ.] (the correction function of the sensor for reading crop marks) to

perform the correction. Depending on the media, it may not be possible to detect crop marks automatically.
