Macola Error: Illegal Operator Sequence

[ASOTV]

Hello,

I work at a company that uses Macola Progression 7.7.6.

Just recently we've been having an issue while posting our orders.

The program runs through all the orders and freezes on the first one.
When we close out, if we posted to printer, we use to get the error message

PCL XL error
Error: IllegalOperatorSequence
Operator: 0xcb
Postion: 89

We receive this error every other day. We don't know if time is fixing it, or if it has something to do with our quick ship polling process.
(It seems to work after this is redone.)

Today we started getting this new error message after closing the frozen posting window:
PCL XL error
Error: IllegalOperatorSequence
Operator: 0xcb
Postion: 83

Does anyone know what these positions are? Or better yet, fix this issue?

Thanks,

A PCL error would imply a printer problem. Do you get the same error using a different printer and/or different workstation?

Normally we print to file while posting. When the posting freezes, we tried to print to the printer to see if there was a specific item it was freezing on. Once we got that error we thought it was in relation to the posting issue.
To answer your question, we have printed to multiple printers from multiple workstations. We get the same result.

When you point out that the PCL error is a printer problem, I'm starting to think that the error is not for the freeze itself, but a cause of the freeze.

Thanks,
