Wrong filament???

Newbie here. Went to print the keychain - it gave the following error:

Warning

A filament specified in the G-code is either not loaded or wrong type. This error is displayed before bench rules too… I continued with the keychain print anyway and got some roughness on the top.

I’m using the ootb prusament PLA jet black. Latest firmware….  I shouldn’t be getting that warning should I??

Best Answer by Staldy:

And are you sure that when you loaded your filament, you selected PLA and not accidentally another type?

You can check which filament is loaded on the main menu at the bottom of the screen.

It probably means that your G-code specifies something like PETG, but since you have loaded PLA on the machine, you're getting this error. It happened to me once too.

Thanks but I’m using the preloaded g-codes and it says PLA on the filenames….

Thanks for that. I unloaded and reloaded the filament (I hadn’t chosen it incorrectly before) but this time it seemed to work and not complain anymore!
