File system error codes

Errors can occur when attempting to access files on any of the available drives. All occurrences are rare, but they are most likely to occur when using optional memory cards. Often, formatting the drive will resolve the error. The errors display in the File Control messages box or in the CardStatus field of the Status table. See Information tables and settings (advanced) for more information.
