What Is A Range Check Error
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, edit or import the image again. PostScript error Typecheck or Rangech

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 https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/image 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: ; https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-postscript-errors.html 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.

ERROR: rangecheck OFFENDING COMMAND: image STACK: -dictionary- -savelevel- It will print out the first two pages of a 64 page document and then print out that error. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. My Product Information: Acrobat Standard 6.0.5, Windows Top 2007-08-14 05:46:04 #1 lkassuba Registered: Jun 28 2007 Posts: 3636 Hi pyarnell,The "PostScript Offending Command" lists "image" under the heading that indicates a problem with bitmap data. You may have bitmap data that exceeds the printer's memory or PostScript language limit. The likeliest source of bitmap data is a graphic in your file. You can check graphics in your file to see if one or more is causing the problem. If you find a likely culprit, you can delete the graphic, reimport it, save it in different format, or simplify it (for example, reduce its dpi). You can also try printing the file to a printer with more memory.Hope this helps,Lori Lori Kassuba is an AUC Expert and Community Manager for AcrobatUsers.com.
