Error Message:

LASER: not ready due to routine calibration

Applies to:

• Green

Service Information:

The ADLAS laser is designed to initiate "routine" calibrations occasionally. Unfortunately, these can happen at any time, even during imaging. The recorder should recover from these automatically. If they occur frequently (i.e. 2 or 3 times a day), the laser may be failing. The following steps may help to extend the laser's useful life: "set laser st 0" (disable sleep mode), "set laser ver 2" (disable spike checking), lower the laser power by 10 to 20 mW using the "laser power <new power>" command.

Do not set laser power outside the 80 - 100 mW range.

The recorder should be reset for these changes to fully take effect.

Operator Action:

Click on 'Resume'. The Platesetter will recover from this condition. However, the plate imaged when this error occured will likely be rejected. If this error happens more than once a day, call Creo Service as the Platesetter likely needs servicing.

Cause:

• The ADLAS laser is designed to initiate "routine" calibrations occasionally.
• Frequent re-calibrations indicate a failing head.
