We share the same goal of helping you resolve your machine issue as quickly as possible. Providing us with as much information as possible up front will help us identify the root cause of your issue sooner and offer possible solutions. Below please find some key information that will help us in troubleshooting your machine issue. Not all may apply to your specific situation.
- What type of machine do you have?
- What is the serial number?
- What software version are you using?
- What controller version are you using?
- Please provide a detailed description of the issue you are experiencing. Be sure to include important details such as at what point in the process the issue occurs (power up, setup, changeover, run mode) and the subsystems or options involved.
- What steps have you taken to diagnose and/or resolve the issue?
- Please describe if you were able to reproduce the issue and what steps you took to do so.

- Have you included a SNAPSHOT or SOS Package with the time stamp of the issue occurrence and/or other supporting information (recipes, captures, pictures, movies, logs)? Please describe what was provided and where. Contact Tech Support if you do not know how to create and submit diagnostic files (snapshot, SOS, etcetera).
