Error History page

The Error History page is available from a link on the Gerber CAT|UV Diagnostics web page. It
provides a list of the 124 most recent errors. The list includes the error number, time of the error
relative to when the printer was powered on, and the number of power cycles when the error
occurred. When the error list reaches 124 in number, the oldest error is dropped from the list as
the most recent error is added. The Error History list is helpful when troubleshooting a
problem.
