Invalidaccess errors
Invalidaccess , off. comm def may be caused by an Illustrator file that
contains multiple master fonts. The error also occurs when printing such
files straight from Illustrator 6.0 or Separator 5.X. The only work-around
we know of is converting all multiple master text in the design to outlines.
Then try printing again.
Lars from Denmark said in the prepress newsgroup that an XTension from
Alap called Markit has a similar problem. To get rid of the error, you
could try the following:
- Make a new text file in a text editor
- Write the following line: userdict /xs undef
- Save this text file in the Harlequin/SW/Page Features directory.
- Then select it as the Page Feature in the Page Setup on the RIP.
- Try to run the job again!
Errors due to memory leaks
A PostScript error, offending command def, could be caused by the RIP
not having enough memory to calculate part of the page. Try to isolate
the element (possibly a printer font or imported graphic) that causes
the error and recreate or simplify it.
Some RIPs tend to lose memory when they have been running for days or
weeks without being reset or switched on and off. Reset the RIP and try
printing again.
You can free up diskspace (which is used for virtual memory) on older
PostScript level 1 RIPs by performing a fontcache delete. This procedure
gets rid of unnecessary temporary fontfiles that take up valuable harddisk
space. Most level 1 RIPs come with a utility to delete the fontcache,
often it is just a little PostScript file that has to be downloaded to
the RIP.
Color Encore RIPs
When you print multiple master fonts to an imagesetter using a RIP calibrated
with Southwest Software's Color Encore 3.1 or earlier (e.g., Splash RIP),
the PostScript error "OffendingCommand: def" occurs. Calibrate the RIP
using Color Encore 3.3 or later to get rid of this error. |
