Confirm that the post file is placed in the correct Posts directory on the system
Restart Mozaik after adding or moving post processor files
2. Post Processor Not Selected in Machine Setup
Even if the post processor is installed correctly, Mozaik will generate this error if it is not selected in the machine configuration.
This can happen if:
The machine was added without assigning a post processor

Resolution:
Open Machine Setup
Select the affected CNC Router
In the Post Processor section, choose the correct post from the drop-down menu
Save the machine settings and regenerate the output
