What to do
The Data Format setting is different from the data
format setting specified in the application (except on
Mac OS X)
If the file is created in an application that allows you to
change the data format or encoding, such as Photoshop,
make sure that the setting in the application matches that in
the printer driver.

AppleTalk in a Windows 2000 environment, and the
Send CTRL+D Before Each Job
or
Send CTRL+D After
Each Job

printer’s Properties dialog box is set to
Yes
.
Make sure that both the
Send CTRL+D Before Each Job
and
Send CTRL+D After Each Job
settings are set to
No
