Camera Errors
“Camera reported error: Busy”
e camera is busy doing something that prevents the requested action. is message is usually
encountered after exiting from a scan to the camera’s disk drive and subsequently attempting another
scan, or attempting to access the camera’s disk drive (from the File Manager) before the scan in prog
-
ress is completed. If so, simply waiting until the scan in progress is complete should eliminate this
message. is message may also occur if the camera firmware fails to complete a scan for some other
reason, probably requiring a camera restart to fix.
“Camera reported error: Not Ready”
e camera is not ready to perform the requested action. is message may be encountered if the
camera’s internal disk drive does not initialize properly during camera startup. Subsequent attempts to
perform any operation requiring this disk drive will return a “not ready” error. e condition might
be corrected by quitting the camera software, restarting the camera, and waiting until the camera is
ready before launching the camera software.
“Camera reported error: No Room”
is error message is returned when the camera’s internal disk drive does not contain a single
“available” space large enough to hold the desired scan. e camera will not split an image across mul
-
tiple smaller sections, which can lead to disk fragmentation. is error may be eliminated by deleting
enough image files from the camera disk to create a single space large enough for the desired scan.
Note that adjacent “available” spaces are immediately combined into a single larger space within the
camera, but the File Manager list will continue to show these as separate spaces until the File Manager
is exited and re-entered.
“Camera reported error: Conversion Error”
e camera controller returns this error when an incoming parameter value cannot be success-
fully converted to a number, possibly due to a corrupted data transfer. is message should never be
encountered in normal operation.
