Local density and page setup errors
One problem that may occur while a page is being imaged is a page
setup error, displaying the following message:
OS9300 PAGE SET-UP ERROR
This message basically means that there was not enough time to
image a page. The lack of time could be caused by an excessively
large amount of data and/or form to be imaged, disk errors, image
generation problems, or a problem known as “local density“.
Even a form designed to avoid exceeding line density limitations may
cause page setup errors because of local density. However, such
problems are rarely encountered in readable forms. To have a
problem area of local density, a form would have to have long lines
of small text very closely spaced.
The reason for a local density problem is that the imaging hardware
accepts and dispatches characters at two different rates. If a form's
structure imposes a dispatching load that is too heavy, the hardware
may run out of input before the processing of data is finished.
Troubleshooting If a form you have described causes page setup errors, examine the
form and variable data to see if there are many lines or a large
amount of text in a small area. If so, you may reduce the density of
this area by spreading out the material or by deleting parts of the form
in the area where you suspect a problem.
Items to look for in determining the possible cause of a page setup
error related to local density are the following:
•
Large amounts of closely spaced text in a small font, that is,
long lines of solid text with minimum spacing. This is especially
suspect if a form is portrait.
•
Large amounts of text in an orientation different from the
defined form orientation, for example, portrait text in a
landscape form.
•
A large number of lines drawn on the short axis of the paper;
that is, vertical lines on a landscape form.
