Common PostScript Problems
The following situations are PS language specific and may occur when several printer languages are 
used.
The machine does not print 
PDF file correctly. Some parts of 
graphics, text, or illustrations 
are missing.
Incompatibility between the 
PDF file and the Acrobat 
products.
• Printing the PDF file as an image 
may enable the file to print. Turn on 
Print As Image from the Acrobat 
printing options. It will take longer to 
print when you print a PDF file as an 
image.
The print quality of photos is 
not good. Images are not clear.
The resolution of the photo is 
very low. 
• Reduce the photo size. If you 
increase the photo size in the 
software application, the resolution 
will be reduced. 
Before printing, the machine 
emits vapor near the output 
tray.
Using damp paper can cause 
vapor during printing.
• Load a new batch of paper. 
• To avoid the paper absorbing too 
much moisture, do not open 
packages of paper until required.
The machine does not print 
special- sized paper, such as 
billing paper.
Paper size and paper size 
setting do not match.
• Set the correct paper size in the 
Custom Paper Size Settings in the 
Paper tab in the Printing Preferences. 
Problem Possible Cause Solution
PostScript file cannot be printed. The PostScript driver may not be 
installed correctly.
• Install the PostScript driver. 
(See Install Printer Software.)
• Print a configuration page and 
verify that the PS version is 
available for printing.
• If the problem persists, contact 
a service representative.
“Limit Check Error” report prints. The print job was too complex. • You might need to reduce the 
complexity of the page. 
A PostScript error page prints. The print job may not be 
PostScript.
• Make sure that the print job is 
a PostScript job. Check to see 
whether the software 
application expected a setup 
or PostScript header file to be 
sent to the machine.
