    Exclamation Roland CAMM-1 Stuck in a test Plot Loop

    Hi Folks,

    This is a post of pure desperation, I have been online for hours with this and no joy

    We have a Roland Camm 1 PNC 1210 Plotter that was previously working.

    Now for some reason no matter what is sent to it it cuts this string of Characters, regardless of what is sent to it.
    It shows the error: "Er 2: Wrong Number of Parameters"

    We are completely stumped as to why it is not working.

    Using latest driver from Roland
    Windows 2000
    Sign Lab 5

    We are using Sign Lab to design, which seems to be working fine.

    Thanks

    Your plotter needs to be set to MODE 2
    It is probably set to mode 1
    You change this on the plotter itself.

    Mode 2 is HPGL.
    Mode 1 is Rolands own language.
    Signlabs drivers are HPGL so the cutter needs to be set to Mode 2
