11:00 Can’t Find Panel

By Liam Rock

In film set position(), this error is raised while trying to align the dye-film to a chosen offset within a chosen panel (for example, prior to printing) if the printer cannot find the requested panel within 8 panels of its starting point. This error often indicates that either the dye LED or sensor is poorly positioned, or that the dye LEDs need to be calibrated using the “FCL” command.
