Legacy Print Server Configuration A Guide to Options 1
Document Scope HP’s Print Server Software that runs on ColorMark Legacy Pro and ColorMark Legacy RIP Station print servers has numerous options that can be configured for a variety of printing needs and results.

The image is automatically rotated if necessary for the best fit to the media size. ○ Horizontal Fit- scales the image to fit the width of the selected media size, maintaining the original aspect ratio. Any image area scaled beyond the vertical dimension of the media size is clipped.

The print job will show the Error, the Offending Command, and the contents of the interpreter stacks.
