Default Drip feed

I'm trying to drip feed into a Mazak htc400 with a Mazatrol M plus controller. It loads what it can into the buffer, but when it needs to send more I keep getting a tape error. All pararmeters look ok. Any ideas as to what I can do?

Thanks,
Dwayne

Ok, I finally got it to drip feed, but I can only do it at 2400 baudrate. Anything higher wants to stop feeding. Is there something wrong with the handshaking?

I get a tape error alarm. I can't remember the number. I'll have to try it again to get it.
