Possible error messages

"Mode is not compatible with connected printer model"

This error refers to an inkset incompatibility and appears when the user tries to print with a mode that is incompatible with the inks installed. Examples:

  • It is not possible to use CMYKcm on a machine with CMYKFpFy.
  • A CMYK output from an F6400 model is not compatible with an F6400H FpFy machine, as the first one is the only other model/ink configuration capable of CMYK printing.

 

"This media configuration is not compatible with this printmode"

This error refers to the transfer destination and media thickness and is displayed when quality is not available with this type of media and future transfer material.

 

"Step&Repeat document to repeat is too large"

This one indicates that the printout as configured in the Print module interface is too large to use Step&Repeat hardware.
