Offending Command Stack Error
Contents |
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 interpreter (for error undefined offending command stack xerox example, a printer, Acrobat Distiller). A PostScript error occurs when the PostScript error limitcheck offending command image interpreter can't read the file's PostScript code. An error can also occur if the file's PostScript code exceeds one error undefined offending command new 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 occurred.A PostScript error error undefined offending command get 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 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 > Printers (Windows Vista, Windows 7) Right-click the printer you are using, a

is on that stack since it might give a programmer or support engineer an offending command nostringval indication of what the interpreter was working on. That is why a PostScript error also contains a dump of the error syntax error offending command stack stack, as shown below: ERROR: undefinedresult OFFENDING COMMAND: itransform STACK: 2380.1 3366.1 In the above case the stack contains two numbers but it could just as well be PostScript commands. A PostScript error with https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-postscript-errors.html offending command stack does not really exist. For some reason the offending command is simply not listed. Troubleshooting an error without knowing which command caused it, can be difficult. The error may be caused by a communication issue. There are fortunately specific cases for which a fix is available: Issues with the HP 4550 and blank pages Every time a Windows machine prints to our HP 4550dn, https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/stack it also prints two additional pages, one is blank, the second has the following PS error: "ERROR: undefined OFFENDING COMMAND: STACK:" It never lists the offending command or stack. This happens when you print binary jobs. The same issue is discussed in this thread. Either change the printer driver postscript settings to ASCII or, if you want binary for smaller print jobs when printing over the TCP/IP network to the Jetdirect's LPR BINPS queue, do then the following: When you print into a file (hint: change Port to File: ), you will see at the end of the print job something like %%EOF [emailprotected] EOJ %-12345X The cause is HP's adding to the PPD an for BINPS LPR an unnecessary TBCP switch. Here's the fragment in the PPD: *% ================================= *% Emulations and Protocols *% ================================= *Protocols: PJL TBCP *JCLBegin: "" *JCLToPSInterpreter: "@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT <0A>" *JCLEnd: "<1B>[emailprotected] EOJ <0A><1B>%-12345X" I changed the line above into *JCLEnd: "" and now I can create and print binary postscript in Windows 7 x64. Just change the ppd file and delete the bpd one. You might have to reinstall the driver. Verify the output by printing into a file. The print proc
The error can be caused by numerous things such as missing dictionaries, imported graphics, data corruption, communication problems or missing PostScript header information. General solutions Some offending commands indicate a possible problem with the driver https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/undefined settings or printer support files. Updating drivers or switching to an alternative driver might solve the problem. You can also try to copy and paste all elements to a new file. If the document https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22895046/printing-pdf-problem-Error-undefined-Offending-COMMAND.html was converted from a previous version of an application, try printing again from that version. A strange word as an offending command: Sometimes a RIP generates an ‘undefined' PostScript error, with an offending command ‘bspt' offending command or another randomly chosen kind of technical term like ‘fob' of ‘xtrfx'. Such errors indicate that the RIP tries to execute a command that has not been defined in the PostScript file. In a lot of cases, PostScript error "undefined" issues are caused by incorrect drivers: PostScript drivers that are corrupted or that are vendor-specific (eg you try printing to a Tectronix printer using an HP driver) PPDs that error undefined offending are too old or too new. PPDs that should be used for another device. Some applications that put themselves in-between your application and the RIP can also cause this kind of a problem: try printing without passing through a spooler or OPI-system. Use another imposition software or try to avoid using your trapping software. Sometimes the name of the offending command indicates which application is causing the problem. I remember a customer who by accident had deleted a number of PostScript files from his Preps folder. Subsequently Preps kept generating ‘undefined' errors because its printfiles lacked the necessary code. We found this rather quick because the offending command started with ‘SS' or so, something that we linked to ScenicSoft, the makers of Preps. Specific errors PostScript error undefined offending command D On Macs running Leopard the above error can pop up with a wide range of printers including the HP LaserJet 1200 and HP PSC 1610xi. Installing and using a Gutenprint driver seems to resolve the problem. An alternative solution is to deactivate error reporting, as documented in this procedure on disabling PostScript error reporting.

Unfortunately it is clearly creating a postscript output that is incompatible with your lexmark. You can workaround this problem by avoiding acrobat generated postscript. For this you can either - use a PCL driver for your printer instead of a postscript driver (this completely avoid bypass the problem and doesn't reduce quality/speed) OR - from acrobat's print dialog, click the "advanced" tab at the bottom of the print dialog: are you using "Acrobat default" settings or "custom" settings? If you are using custom settings, this might cause the problem: try choosing acrobat default, and if it still doesn't work, try selecting "print as image" (this can reduce quality/speed) Anyway the real cause of the problem is that your printer doesn't like the postscript generated by acrobat. This may be caused by either acrobat generating bad postscript (less probable) or your printer not processing
