TOPIC

    When printing a complex document to the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS, the printer does not print the document but instead prints a page that reads "printer restarted due to system error at address 0x132460". Displayed on the Macintosh is an error message that the document could not be printed due to "connection closed". Sometimes an error 4100 will be displayed as well. What does this mean?

DISCUSSION

    This is caused by a 16-bit overflow in the floating point arithmetic required to produce graphic objects.

    Workarounds

    * Rotate the graphics slightly (by as little as 0.1 degree).
    * Resize the graphic, larger or smaller, by 1% increments.

    (Adjusting the graphics in these ways results in new calculations that may be different enough not to cause the overflow.)

    * Obtain the v2.0 ROM upgrade, service part number 076-0621, that may be purchased from your service provider.
