Most of these errors require that a file be sent in so that the cause of the error can be determined. There are a few commands, however, for which this may not be required.
Three of these are as follows:
1.      ioerror - this is usually a protocol error with the way the serial port is configured. Check the baud rate, and XON/XOFF to make sure they are the same in WP as they are on the printer.
2.      timeouts - this can be fixed with the TIMEOUTS.PS file. Information on this file can be found in Folio memo P51_1813B.
3.      VMerror - this is usually fixed by changing the resource quantity in cartridges and fonts (Shift-F7, S, 3, 4, Q) to a higher value.
