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 example, a printer, Acrobat Distiller). A PostScript error rangecheck offending command image 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 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 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 xerox error undefined offending command stack 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, and then choose Printer Properties. Select the General tab, select Printing Preferences, and then click Advanced. Expand Document Options, and then expand PostScript Options. Set Send PostScript Error Handler to Yes. If you do not see this option, your printer does not have a PostScript Error Handl
to solve such an error? Why do PostScript errors even exist? What is a PostScript error? Every PostScript device contains a RIP (or Raster Image Processor). This is a computer that error unregistered offending command xshow translates the pages you want to print from PostScript into a format that error undefined offending command g2ubegin the PostScript device understands. If the RIP encounters an error while performing this translation, it returns a PostScript error message error undefined offending command new to the device that send the file. The error can be caused by bugs in the PostScript code itself, data corruption, limitations of the RIP and PostScript device processing the file, incompatibilities between https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-postscript-errors.html different devices or applications, bad karma,… What do PostScript errors look like? A PostScript error has two parts: the error and the offending command. Take a look at a typical PostScript error: %%[Error: limitcheck; Offending command: image ]%% The error tells you exactly what problem the RIP encountered while processing your file. In the example, it is a limitcheck. Thankfully, there are a limited number of errors https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/basics that can occur on PostScript devices. I think there are about 30 or so but I could be wrong. The offending command signals what specific PostScript command (or operator as they are called) was being processed by the RIP when the error occurred. In some cases, the offending command doesn't really look like a command but it is a series of random characters. This means the RIP has encountered some information in your printfile that it considers to be a PostScript operator but is not. This can happen with corrupted images, bad network connections and so on. Can PostScript errors be solved? Well, this website wouldn't make much sense if that wasn't possible. Of course, it helps if you know the famous Adobe Red Book by heart. But knowledge of the PostScript language is no prerequisite for troubleshooting PostScript errors. In reality, it is often a matter of luck. Errors caused by bugs in applications or drivers are sometimes well documented and easy to resolve. The same is true for errors caused by limitations or bugs in the software of the RIP itself. Errors caused by corrupted data can be tricky to troubleshoot. The same is true for PostScr

It may be http://forum.support.xerox.com/t5/Printing/Postscript-error-invalidfont-when-printing-from-PowerPoint/td-p/6844 worthwhile to check both the error message and the command that caused the error to appear.
