For general troubleshooting, see Troubleshooting in
Chapter 7, of the Controller User’s Guide.  The items
in Table 2-4.1 are PostScript language-specific and
may occur particularly in multiple printer language
and shared printer environments.

A text listing of PostScript
commands prints instead of your
PostScript printing job.

A non-standard PostScript interpreter character
may have confused the controller.

•

 If you are in DOS, send the control command

to put the printer into PostScript mode and re-
send the print job.

•

 If you are in Windows, make sure you are

using the correct custom printer driver, and re-
send the print job.

The job prints in Courier (the
printer’s default typeface)
instead of the typeface you
requested.

The requested typeface is not resident in the
controller.  Download the desired font.

A PostScript error page prints.

Make sure the print job is a PostScript job.  Check
to see if your software expected you to send setup
or PostScript header files to the printer.  Make
whatever corrections are necessary and re-send the
print job to the digital duplicator.

A page set for bleed-off printing
is missing any print on the first
part of the leading edge of the
paper.

Due to the nature of the technology in the digital
duplicator used to pick/pull the paper through the
machine, the first 5 mm of the page (leading edge,
or the first edge into the machine) will not have
any printing on it.  However, bleed-off printing
may be doe all the way to the other three paper
edges.

You are operating in DOS, and
your computer displays:
Writing to LPTn:
Abort, Retry, Ignore?

Try setting infinite timeouts on your computer.
See your MS-DOS manual for information about
the Mode command.
