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 occurs when the PostScript interpreter error limitcheck offending command image can't read the file's PostScript code. An error can also occur if the file's PostScript error undefined offending command stack code exceeds one or more of the limits in the PostScript page description language. If your PostScript interpreter appears to process data error limitcheck offending command save 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
Postscript Errors
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 error limitcheck offending command mac 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 Handler. Note: If PostScript Options isn't visible, double-click Document OptionsIn Mac OS, configure the Apple LaserWriter 8 or Adobe PS printer driver to print the error message by doing one of the following:Choose either J
solutions Often a corrupted image leads to this type or error. You can easily trace which image causes the problem from applications like QuarkXPress that allow you to print jobs without the images. If the PostScript error error syntax error offending command stack doesn't occur then, you can start trying to locate the bad image. Set half of

your images to non-printing and try printing again. Again halve the amount of images and 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 info below doesn't point to a more specific work-around, try https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-postscript-errors.html 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 of PostScript RIPs as well as Acrobat Distiller 4.0 (and 4.05 and probably 3.x) https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/image 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.

Things to try first Checking for corrupt graphics About us PostScript error details (alphabetical by error name) HP Laserjet Error codes (30 PS ERROR nn) Introduction - what is an error? This is intended for people who have to try and deal with PostScript errors. You don't need to know anything about PostScript, except that it is a language that gets sent to a printer. By 'errors' I mean specific errors detected by a PostScript printer, that make it stop printing. This won't help you if the results are complete, but not what you expect. Good information on errors is hard to come by. The information here may help. It is long and detailed, and best used as a reference. Still, be prepared for a long struggle. Sometimes a file simply cannot be printed on a particular printer, particularly if it is old or has limited memory. (The amount of memory supplied by default with many printers is not adequate for complex graphics or using many fonts). Some people will be dealing with PostScript files sent to them, that they must try to print; others will be generating the PostScript themselves. Not all of the advice in this document can be followed by both groups. Although I refer to 'printers' throughout, you might be using a printer, a printing or previewing package on a PC or workstation, or a high-end typesetter. This file is definitely not intended to help people writing their own PostScript. The discussion is confined to errors likely to be found when a program writes the PostScript on your behalf. If writing PostScript you will need a good manual, and lots of patience! A particularly unpleasant source of problems is bugs, either in the programs that write the PostScript, or in a few cases in the PostScript interpreter itself. As bugs can cause anything to happen, this document may not be much use either, but I have included information on some bugs that have been discovered in common software. Good luck! You may need it. What is the error? PostScript errors are reported in various ways. Before you can get anywhere with
