Linotronic / Ultre / Exxtra / Maxxima / Agfa

Version: 3.5.5s
Date: March 2005
Platforms: Windows NT / 2000 / XP / 2003 Server INTEL


Known Problems

Linotronic imagesetters

  • Linotronic imagesetters do not support host control over feed amount, hence any feeds performed by the RIP will amount to a fixed length feed as defined on the imagesetter.
  • Error reporting (such as no takeup cassette/no input cassette/image too big) is unreliable since the engine does not always report the current status correctly.

Agfa imagesetters

  • Some of the older Agfa imagesetters do not correctly report error conditions such as no output cassette or no media until they start imaging. This can cause jobs which should fail immediately to take a few minutes to fail and to fail with an error which does not reflect the true cause of the problem.

General

  • On some imagesetters the advance amounts are not accurate. In some cases this can be caused by other devices connected to the imagesetters, such as Online Processors or media buffering devices.
