This is an instrument error indicating that the plate will not lower and as such the instrument cannot open. You probably need to call a service technician to come out and fix. However, before you do that - find the equipment specific manual and check the instrument troubleshooting pages, there may be a way to get the plate out without the expense of a technician.
You can also call their help phone, which may be able to give you some idea of what to do.
Whatever you do - tell someone else what is going on, it is probably not your fault, especially if you have used the machine in the past with no problems.
