• Code: n11
• Display: COPY SKIP
• Description: Registration mark detection failed Registration mark detection failed during registration mark detection and continuous copy operation. CG-SRII places priority on continuous operation and, therefore, does not display an error even when registration mark detection fails during copy operation. It simply skips one pattern and enters registration mark detection of the next pattern.
• Troubleshooting Guides: This error message appears only momentarily when one pattern is skipped. Therefore, no corrective action is needed. If skip occurs frequently, however, verify the registration mark detection operation as described at “ERR36 MARKdetect”.
