Hp LaserJet 1300 PCL 6 error
- Thread starter suzipam
- Start date
The PCL XL error.
Subsystem: TEXT
Error: IllegalAttributeValue
Operator: SetFont
Position: 368025
indicates that a PCLXL font selection sequence has encountered an out of range value for one of the attributes, of which there are only three valid ones for the SetFont operator: SymbolSet, CharSize and FontName.
Which of the available attributes is in error could only be actually determined if the error is repeatable AND the output can be sent to a file (via 'print to file') from where it could be analysed.
But the Operator Position of 368025 indicates that the print job is fairly massive, so uploading / downloading / analysing a file could be problematical, so say the least.
It could be a driver error (perhaps related to the size? - maybe you are using a lot of different non-resident fonts), or perhaps some corruption is occurring either on the way to the printer (i.e. comms), or in the printer (memory management).
Unless the error occurs frequently and repeatedly, it would be very difficult to track down.
Ensure that you have the latest versions of the printer driver, and printer firmware.
Failing that, you could revert to use of the PCL5e driver (which will NOT produce PCLXL errors), although the output could still suffer from similar faults if they're not driver related (but you wouldn't necessarily know about it unless the output was scrutinised carefully and compared with the original screen view, as the PCL5 interpreter just ignores malformed PCL).
