Agfa CT error code, reported by the Film Transport & Alignment.

What HC11237 means

On DryStar 5500 (Type 5364/100) and DryStar 5503 (Type 5364/300) CT systems, status code HC11237 indicates: Drum exit sensor S24 continuously activated at startup or empty-check. The code originates in the Print Section — Film Jam & Transport Sensors section of the Film Transport & Alignment. Severity level warning (Warning).

Reported action: Check the print section and resolve the film jam at sensor S24. If it keeps recurring, look for mechanical blockage of sheet transport and broken or misfit sensors..
