Error Message:

IMAGE: light level on detector too low

Applies to:

• Green

Service Information:

The amount of light falling on the detector inside the head, used for stroke and DAOM calibration, is unreasonably low. This may indicate a head problem different from simply a gradual loss of throughput, since that usually results in a "Can't flatten stroke" error.

There may be a problem with the laser, ranging from a blown fuse to an unrecoverable failure. Also, the head's internal filter mechanism may be stuck. Do not attempt to repair a head in the field without explicit instructions from a head integrator.

Operator Action:

Cancel this image, take the recorder offline, and reboot the recorder. Contact service even if this clears up the problem, since the Platesetter may need servicing.

Cause:

• Head is failing
• Filter mechanism in head is stuck.
• Laser malfunction.
