Adobe Indesign 2.x, it is time to upgrade to ScriptWorks 5.5r1a or later. This version has less problems handling composite fonts. When printing an Adobe PDF file or from Adobe Acrobat or InDesign: create a PostScript file, convert it to PDF with ‘Acrobat 3 compatibility' activated, and print this PDF. The same error can also show up in Scenicsoft Preps 4.0 when PostScript level 2 in-rip separations are activated and one or more process colors are not selected for output. This error is fixed in Preps 4.02. When using Preps to output PDF file with duotones, a ‘Get' error can also show up when the Acrobat 5 plug-in is used to generate PostScript data. To correct this problem, you must change the PostScript Level of the Acrobat plug-in to level3 in the Preps ".cfg" file. To do this, use an editor to open the correct .cfg file from the Preps profiles folderand change the line that says -PLUGINPSLEVEL:2 to: -PLUGINPSLEVEL:3.

a more detailed error message which might help in pinpointing the cause of the error. In general, setpagedevice errors are caused by incorrect driver settings or insufficient memory available on the RIP. Driver problems The use of incorrect settings or an incorrect driver typically cause a PostScript error: postscript errors configurationerror, offending command: setpagedevice. If there is more information available (e.g. an extra line marked error unregistered offending command xshow ‘errorinfo' or ‘additional information'), this may point to the most likely cause of the problem. For example: additional information: [/PageSize [0 792]] clearly points

to a problem with the selected output size. If you use an incorrect PPD driver to access features like in-rip separation or in-rip trapping, this can cause setpagedevice errors. Make sure you use the latest PPD/driver for your specific https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/get device. Trying to output pages that are physically too large for a specific output device can also cause setpagedevice errors. Make sure that rounding errors don't spoil your fun if you try to output the largest possible page. Another popular cause for such errors is the use of an inappropriate resolution, like asking for output at 1270 dpi while the output device only supports 1200 dpi. I once encountered setpagedevice errors when printing jobs from Preps to a https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/setpagedevice particular RIP. It took me half a day to find out that the PostScript files that were imported in Preps had been created using the driver for that particular RIP. This had never caused any problem but in this particular case, you had to use a PPD from Preps itself. Memory related problems When a RIP runs out of memory while processing a job, this can also cause setpagedevice errors. Some of the things you can try: Try to output the job page by page or even colour by colour. Lower the resolution of the output device. Use a lower screen ruling. Simplify the document. Reboot the RIP to solve any problems with memory leaks. Allocate more memory to the RIP or add RAM if possible. 9 August 2013 4 Comments » 4 responses to "Offending command: Setpagedevice" Me says: March 15, 2012 at 3:21 am Set printer driver from PostScript Level 2 to PostScript Level 1 (See: http://boffin.quite.com/ps/errors.htm) Atul Tomer says: July 27, 2009 at 9:48 am Hi Haider, Did you find the solution of your above PS printing problem?

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 translates the pages you want to print from PostScript into a format https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/basics that the PostScript device understands. If the RIP encounters an error while performing this translation, it returns a PostScript error message 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 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 offending command 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 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 offending command stack 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 PostScript errors caused by incompatibilities between different applications and RIPs. Why do PostScript errors even exist? In a perfect world, error messages wouldn't exist. But unfortunately we are stuck in a real world and errors usually occur on big jobs that are already past their deadline. Much of the problems with PostScript are related to the fact that PostScript is really a programming language. There is no well defined way to describe in PostSc
