Error messages

The enVision plotter is programmed to detect certain mechanical/electrical error
conditions at power-up or during operation. A repetitive long-short, long-short
beeping pattern means that an error has been detected. When an error condition
occurs, the plotter may turn off power to the motors. The control panel displays
"System Error" followed by an error code number. The error code numbers and
their meanings are listed below. Call Gerber Field Service at 800-828-5406 or
860-643-1515, or fax 860-645-2448
