Error
Meaning
c o d e
0
No I/O errors
10
During an output instruction being executed,
another output instruction is sent (only the
current instruction is effective)
11
An error occurs in a device control instruction.
12
Incorrect parameters are set to a device control
instruction (the default value is set to the erro-
neous parameter)
13
Parameters are overflowing
14
The number of the parameters set is more than
specified or a colon ':' was not used to termi-
nate
15
Framing error, parity error or over-run error at
the time of data receipt
16
The I/O buffer overflows (In this case, the
plotter cannot draw properly.)
17
Baudrate is set incorrectly
18
Other I/O errors occur

The maximum vale, minimum value and default
value of each buffer are shown in the table below. If
specifying a value more than the maximum, the
maximum value is set. If specifying a value other
than 0 and less than the minimum, the minimum
value is set. If 0 is specified, 2 is set to the I/O
buffer, 4 to the polygon buffer, and 0 to the down-
loadable character buffer.
