If any of the following command error messages appear, they are nearly always caused by one of the fol-
lowing two reasons:
• The software or host-computer settings have been changed.
• The cutting-plotter interface settings have been changed.
Solutions
• Configure the settings in the software menu so that the menu can control the cutting plotter.
• Set the host-computer interface conditions correctly.
• Set the cutting-plotter interface conditions correctly (see “3.1 Setting the Format of Data to be
Received”).
• Make sure that the data-transmission conditions match.
