f
The device will reply to commands in various ways. A successful command may be replied by the [!Info : ………] where the text after the
colon provides information on how the device has interpreted the command, the [!Error –nnn : ………] gives information on an unsuccessful
command execution. If the [!Error] message is displayed the device has not carried out the command requested.

Saving communication logs is recommended in case system failure occurs. When contacting Panasonic, the text file that saves the
communication logs will be a great help for finding the cause. With the complete communication log of operations after startup, it is also
possible to recreate the same operation using a machine with a similar environment.
