Printer Error Offending Command
Contents |
a PostScript error Applies to : Illustrator InDesign PageMaker Photoshop PostScript printer drivers You can receive a PostScript error error limitcheck offending command image when sending a file to a PostScript interpreter (for example, a
Error Undefined Offending Command Stack
printer, Acrobat Distiller). A PostScript error occurs when the PostScript interpreter can't read the file's PostScript offending command nostringval 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 error limitcheck offending command save 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
Xerox Error Undefined Offending Command Stack
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 print
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 error syntax error offending command stack allow you to print jobs without the images. If the PostScript error doesn't error limitcheck offending command mac occur then, you can start trying to locate the bad image. Set half of your images to non-printing
Error Undefined Offending Command G2ubegin
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 https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-postscript-errors.html 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 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 https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/image 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) 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 th
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 https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/setpagedevice of incorrect settings or an incorrect driver typically cause a PostScript error: configurationerror, offending command: setpagedevice. If there is more information available (e.g. an extra line marked ‘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 offending command 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 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 error limitcheck offending 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 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 (
