line. This error is more common on old PostScript level 1 RIPs than on Level 2 or PostScript 3 devices. Sometimes it is not the document that is too complex, but the RIP or printer has certain limitations. error limitcheck offending command addglyph General solutions Reduce the complexity of the file: In a lot of cases, redesigning error undefined offending command stack the document to make it less complex can get around "limitcheck" errors.

also do the trick. Print only one page or even one color at the time. Send your page without including the images to see whether images are causing the problem. Ungrouping objects can be very effective.

Often groups and especially groups in groups or rotated groups of objects really make it tough to render PostScript. Nesting files (e.g. placing an EPS in an EPS or placing a PDF file on a page) also adds to the complexity of a document and can lead to limitcheck errors (especially with the offending commands ‘save' and ‘restore'). If you have a printer with a limited amount of memory you could try error limitcheck offending command gsave to reduce the number of fonts used in the document. Use the option ‘split long paths' in drawing applications to split up complex path in easier to process chunks. If you are printing from Illustrator: if the document contains gradients, select Compatible Gradient Printing (Illustrator 7.x or earlier) or Compatible Gradient and Gradient Mesh Printing (Illustrator 8.0) in the Document Setup dialog box. Johan sent me an e-mail: He got a couple of limitcheck errors in PostScript 3 RIPs because of a very big ‘history' entry in Photoshop EPS metadata. The problem is solved by deleting the metadata, but finding the offending image can be tricky in a big project. Photoshop itself has no problem with such EPS files and they can be placed in QuarkXPress documents without a problem. Using TIFF or JPEG or making it a standard procedure to remove history info from metadata (or all meta data) are valid workarounds. Give your workflow, printer or RIP more room to work Lowering the resolution of your imagesetter or printer makes it easier for the RIP to calculate the job. This may seem odd but sometimes selecting a higher screen ruling is not such a bad idea as well. Reboot the RIP (or printer) to clear its memory. Some laser printers al

images. If the PostScript error doesn't occur then, you can start trying to locate error: limitcheck mac the bad image. Set half of your images to non-printing and try printing again. Again halve the amount of images and offending command nostringval print again and keep doing this until you located the bad one. Updating your application and/or printer driver to the latest release could also solve issues with an offending command ‘Image' error. If the https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/limitcheck info below doesn't point to a more specific work-around, try the basic troubleshooting tips. PostScript error Limitcheck If you get a PostScript error ‘limitcheck' offending command ‘image', an image in your document is too large, its resolution is too high or it cannot be rotated. Reduce the size or resolution, rotate the image at a different angle or rotate it in an application like Photoshop. Some older level 2 versions https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/image of PostScript RIPs as well as Acrobat Distiller 4.0 (and 4.05 and probably 3.x) cannot handle copydot files in which the number of pixels exceeds 32000 in either direction. Using such big copydot files (eg larger than about 33 centimeters for a 2400 dpi copydot) can lead to a PostScript error "limitcheck" offending command "image". If you get a PostScript error "limitcheck" offending command "image" when printing from InDesign 1.0, the document probably contains a multitone EPS (duotone, tritone,.. ) that uses a spot color. To get around the error, you can either perform the colour separation in InDesign itself (deselect "In-RIP" in the separations tab) or you should upgrade your RIP to Adobe PostScript version 3011 or later. PostScript error IOerror An ‘ioerror', offending command ‘image' or ‘colorimage' points to an incorrect amount of data in an image or it indicates that the printer's PS interpreter reads beyond the end of the job while rendering an image. Two possible solutions: Make sure that the channel used to connect the printer to your system is truly binary or try to change you printer driver's settings from binary to ASCII. In general, parallel (Centronics) interfaces do not support binary datatransfer, serial and network interfaces do. Scan, ed
a PostScript error Applies to : Illustrator InDesign PageMaker Photoshop PostScript printer drivers You can receive a PostScript error when sending a file to a PostScript https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-postscript-errors.html interpreter (for example, a printer, Acrobat Distiller). A PostScript error occurs when the PostScript interpreter can't read the file's PostScript code. An error can also occur if the file's PostScript code exceeds one or more of the limits in the PostScript page description language. If your PostScript interpreter appears to process data but then stops, a PostScript error could have offending command occurred.A PostScript error message includes a PostScript error type, which defines the type of error it is. It also includes an offending command, which usually indicates the specific part of the PostScript code that the interpreter couldn't read. The offending command usually indicates the command that caused the problem. Some PostScript errors point you right to the cause of the error limitcheck offending problem, and some get you looking in the right direction.Example of a PostScript error:%%[Error: ; OffendingCommand: ]%%For example, the PostScript error %%[Error: dictfull; OffendingCommand: def ]%% contains the PostScript error type "dictfull" and the offending command "def." The error type indicates that the dictionary contains the maximum number of entries. The offending command is the last command the PostScript interpreter tried to process, "def," which defines a new word in the dictionary. View or print a PostScript error message If you think a PostScript error has occurred, but it doesn't appear onscreen or in your printout, you can sometimes view or print the error message. Do one or more of the following:Use an error handler utility. For example, Adobe PageMaker has the Include PostScript Error Handler option in the Print Options dialog box.In Windows, configure the printer to print the error message:Note: In Windows NT, you cannot configure a printer to print an error message. Choose one of the following: Start > Settings > Printers (Windows 2000)Start > Printers And Faxes (Windows XP)Start > Control Panel > Print
