207: In addition to what is written in the manual, check for the following: The cable between the locks is not connected. The spiral cable is not connected to the console. If you have a switch box, the switch is set to accept a pattern from the computer instead of in the knit position. The spiral cable may have a short. Run a test by plugging the front lock directly into the console and see if this clears the problem; if so, check the cable for problems and replace if necessary.
209: Pattern Header Corrupted. Go back into Design a Pattern, retrieve the design and save it under a different name. There really isn't anything wrong with the name, it's just that some necessary information connected to the name got lost or corrupted. The only solution is to save the design under a new name. Don't forget to go back and delete the old copy of the design.
210: Pattern Color Corrupted. Similar to 209 and has the same solution.
211: Parity Error. Computers have parity checks and something changed that shouldn't have. Usually restarting your computer will take care of this error.
212: Not ready for data. The computer is okay, but your console has a problem. Turn it off and start again. You will need to reprogram it and you need to say yes to ERASE.
213: Validity of bit not recognized. Can be similar to 209 or 211. You might try getting out of Creation6 and restarting it. Check that the cable is securely plugged into the console and the computer.
214: You will usually get this if the computer has a problem writing to the console. You will normally get a Write Fault Error on the computer, and it will indicate which com port had the problem. If you don't get a message on the computer, then the program thought it was downloading just fine, but the console didn't get the information. You may have the wrong com port specified in Creation 6 for the cable.
250 (undocumented): Wrong Chipset. The chips in the console are not updated to work with Creation6. Check the date as they must be from 1/1/91 or later "Write Fault Error" This is a computer message that indicates that the computer is having some kind of problem writing to the console. Check that both ends of the cables are securely connected, if you have a switch box, that it is switched to the correct cable, that the console says PC Start. If the console displays WAIT, then the computer started to write to the console and got an error. Reset the console, and restart your computer. This will normally clear the problem.Computer messages -If the computer jumps back to the 'Knit a pattern' or Knit a form' screen very fast, and the console still says PC START, there may not be enough memory for the program to create and write the files. If you know that everything is connected correctly, or you have downloaded before, check the amount of memory available by typing MEM at a C:\ prompt
