Troubleshooting 'Lane Pump not initialized' fluidics related error on the NextSeq 500/550

This error indicates there is an issue with the fluidics system and it can appear at anytime (eg, during initialization, washes, pre-checks, during runs). This can be a communication error between the hardware and software, or an issue with the syringe pump itself.

Error text:

"Error in Fluidics.FlowCellFluidics1.LanePump. Device not initialized. Command = 'Q', reply = '7'"

Troubleshooting steps:

1. Power cycle\* the NextSeq 500/550.2. If the instrument initializes successfully, complete a Quick Wash.\*3. If the wash completes without errors, setup the next run on the instrument.4. If the error persists after initialization, contact Illumina Technical Support for additional guidance
