Error with Gcode

so after installing hardware, and i have the plastic loaded, i go to this website and get the gcode needed from the generator. i copy paste that g code in the color change settings on the printer and this is the error i get when trying to slice. maybe because im using ORCA? i figured that would work because its a fork of prussa. i went to download prussa slicer but cant find a profile for my K1. im not very familiar with prussa slicer so i dont even know how to go about setting up a profile. is there something i can do to make it work on orca?

i got the profile on prussa slicer. on that profile was the gcode made for the mk3 or mk4? because when i started a print, it loaded the filament correctly the first time but never did a color change successfully. when it would go to do a tool change it would stop on a pulse, and not actually change anything, just buzz till it thought the tool change was done then continue with the same filament. never tried to move the old filament out.

The profile will work with either version. Listen to the unit and count the pulses... Make sure it is sending the first number of pulses for each comment. (They're documented at the bottom of the GCode generator.) Follow the GCode and see which command isn't getting the right number of pulses... Then you can adjust the G4 commands to correct the timing.

Also, make sure the switch is in the correct position... If it's not pressing it correctly, it can easily throw off the button press timing.
