Error

Emergency Stop: Drum speed deviation is above the limit.

Symptoms

The error message appears intermittently during one of the following calibration tests:

• Delay
• Intensity (drum speed)

Cause

A combination hardware and software limitation that is related to the image offset automatic number of steps option

Solution

There are two possible solutions to this problem:

• Upgrade the ThermoFlex Controller software:
  • For XP operating systems, upgrade to version 2.02.354.005.
  • For Windows 95 operating systems, the upgraded version 1.32.350 will be published in Oct. '07.
• Instead of exposing the plate automatically, you can expose the plate manually. On the Lotem Calibration dialog box Test tab, make sure to:
  • Set the Number of steps parameter value to 1.
  • Update the Image Offset parameter value each time you expose the plate.
