Error Message:

ALE: plate smaller than expected

Applies to:

• Trendsetter_400/800
• Trendsetter_400/800_Proofing
• Trendsetter_400/800_Auto

Operator Action:

3230/3244 Trendsetter: Remove the plate on the load ramp and click the "RESUME" button. The trendsetter will sort things out for about 30 seconds and ask the user to load another plate. Load a correct-sized plate at this time and hit the load button.

3230/3244 Trendsetter Autoloader: Remove the plate on the load ramp and click the "Plate Removed" button. Make sure the correct-sized plates are loaded in the bay.

Service Information:

If the above action does not solve the problem, then the load ramp sensor may not be working properly. Check the "al soff" parameter. It can be calibrated with the "load cal" command. If this fails, use "set al lps 0" in diagnostic monitor to bypass the sensor to get the customer going and arrange for field service.

3230/3244 Trendsetter Autoloader: the sensor status can be read with the "ramp" command.

Cause:

• The operator loaded an under-sized plate on the load ramp.
• The operator loaded an under-sized plate in the bay.
• The load plate sensor is damaged or misaligned.
• The load ramp sensor was not calibrated properly.
