Problems printing numbered tickets

Hello everyone,
I just made some reffel tickets with running numbers. I made the file in Indesign cs5 on mac and I am printing it on a xerox 700 digital press with creo rip software. I used page numbers to make the running serial numbers. Because of this each ticket is its own page. There are 1000 pages. Total file size isn't that large though. Only 3.5 mbs as an Indesign file and 1.5 mbs as a pdf. However I cant get it to print from either acrobat or indesign. In fact when I try to print it from acrobat the program instantly freezes. Does any one have any ideas to why this issue might be happening?

I'm going to compare apples to oranges here...
I did 250 sheets for 1000 tickets this am.
See the graphic, (in Explorer's Preview) It added far more data in the RIP than I should have allowed.
While the InDesign file was only 1.4mb, after merging to 250 pages and spooling it weighed in at the RIP at 1.5gb. (Fiery RIP)
I had to get up and go do some other work while it processed.
I think there is something wrong with a 1001 page pdf at 1.8mb as you're showing.
If it is indeed that small, you could host it or email somewhere; we could verify if it works or crashes on another system.
PM me as needed to send the pdf

PDF exportig problems from numbers: offset margins, pages missing

hi,
we are encountering some odd problems in numbers here..
first our problem was, that exporting a pages of a numbers document to a pdf with
document margins lead to an offset of the margins. The whole content was offset
and f.i. the window of an envelope didn't work.
the wrong margins even showed as fine thin lines in the preview of the pdf.
we worked around that problem by exporting the pdf via the printing menu.
NOW - since mavericks - even our workaround seems to be bugged.
It is only possible to print only one page although the document has multiple pages.
Seriously,.. this is very annoying. Since the new mavericks numbers has "NO" working Page preview,
which is essential to writing invoices out of numbers.
What happened? Can anyone help please? I am supposing this has something to do
with the Adobe-PDF engine and the Apple PDF engine.
Help much appreciated,
no page preview in numbers 3.0.1
printing only one page is possible!
checking All pages leads to exporting one page
the wrong margins that offset the whole layout even show in preview as hairlines

Hi weme,
Yes, stay with Numbers 2 for serious business.
As a matter of interest, I do not know why you can print only one page to PDF in Numbers 3.
Numbers 3.0.1 with a long table (Header Row frozen to make this a smaller screen shot)
File > Print... shows two pages
There is only one Sheet (in the spreadsheet sense) consisting of two pages (of "paper"). 'This Sheet' has the same effect as 'All Sheets'.
Click on Print.
Lower left, click on PDF and choose Open PDF in Preview
Here is Preview (zoomed out) showing two pages.
The Preview app's Print Preview:
1 of 2. Have a play with settings such as Auto Rotate and Scale to get what you want.
Numbers 2 will do what you want, but I thought this discussion would help those who are persevering with Numbers 3. (And those who do not have the option to use Numbers 2).
Regards,
Ian.

I am suddenly having a problem printing 4x6 photos. The print as though starting in the middle of an 8x10 sheet. I've checked and double-checked the print settings. Anyone else have this problem?

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Problem viewing Numbers spreadsheet via VNC

When I connect to an Intel Mac Mini running 10.5.6 using a VNC client and launch Numbers (2.0.2) on the Mini, a valid spreadsheet opens but it looks blank (no cells visible, no data visible). The program is fully functional and if the arrow keys are used to scroll around the spreadsheet, each cell's data is displayed, one cell at a time, in the entry field (at the top of the spreadsheet).
The spreadsheet display normal, as expected, on a monitor connected to the Mini. The spreadsheet can be printed and saved as PDF. These both show a complete, normal spreadsheet with data in each cell.
This issue occurs when using either Chicken Of The VNC and JollyFastVNC. Changing display resolution nor number of colors fixes the problem. Changing window size in the VNC client (full-screen mode vs. window mode) does not fix the problem.
Other applications running on the Mini show no problems when viewed & controlled from the VNC client.
The VNC client runs on a PowerBook G3/400 running OS X 10.4.11. These computers are connected via a LAN and 10/100 ethernet switch. Personal filesharing is enabled on the Mini; no firewalls are used.
How can I fix the remote viewing problem with Numbers? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
iX

Hi Gretchen,
I talked to R&D and they said this is expected behavior. The min/max from the properties from the hypertrend properties reflect what is considered as true and false on the chart.
Is there a reason you cannot set these to 0 and 1?

Want to make numbered tickets - 16 up

Hello-
I am trying to make numbered tickets using a data merge in InDesign, but want them 16 to a page (on tabloid) so I can cut them. Does anyone know how to go about doing this? I have tried a data merge and used multiple paste but that messes up the data merge. Please help!!!!
elissa

That's a new one... There are two ways we do this. First by using the merge
dialog to do multiple records. This takes a little messing around with the
margins to get the proper position and n-ups you want but works quite well.
The problem with this method is it puts the records in ascending order on
each page, so when you go to cut them, the stacks will be out of order. Not
a big deal of you're doing a 100 or so, just sort the cut pieces. But if
you're doing thousands this is a pain.
The other method is to step and repeat your ticket set up on the page as
many times as you want.. Then create a CSV file with in your case, 16 data
coloums. Call them pos1, pos2 pos3 etc. Then if for example you are number
to 1000, each colomn will have 63 numbers. For example pos1 will number 1 to
63, pos2 will number 64 to 127 and on. Then when you do you're data merge,
select that file as the data file, and place one merge field in each
position. Then when these are cut in stacks, they will be in order. sounds
complicated but it's really simple once you've done it and even if you start
with a blank Excel file to create the number columns, it shouldn't take more
that 10 minutes or so for the entire.

HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one problem printing. Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy--

I'm having a problem printing on my HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One. The following message is what came up on the printer screen: Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation Error O.cl9a0007.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
Thanks,

Problem printing out to a parallelport printer

Hello, I am using the javax.comm.*; package and I am having problems
printing to the parallelport.
Well, it prints out the string but the problem is that the light for paper feed
starts blinking eventhough there is paper , once I click the paper feed button
the printer then prints out the string.
So, basically, everything is ok, apart from that I have to press the paper feed
button for each time I want to print something.
There is an error in my code somewhere, but as I am new to port communications I cannot understand what to do.
Below is my code, please help.
Thanks!
public void print(String s){
Enumeration ports;
CommPortIdentifier portId;
     try{
          portId = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifier("LPT1");
         addPort(portId,s);
     }catch (NoSuchPortException e){
                 e.printStackTrace();
public static void addPort(CommPortIdentifier portId,String s){
     try{
          ParallelPort port = (ParallelPort)portId.open("LPT1",2000);
        /*port.notifyOnError(true);
        port.notifyOnBuffer(true);
        port.addEventListener(new ParallelPortEventListener(){
               public void parallelEvent(ParallelPortEvent ppe){
                       System.out.println(ppe.toString());
                       System.out.println("An event has occured");
          try{
               OutputStream os = port.getOutputStream();
               if(os == null){
                    System.out.println("Os is null");
               else{
                      os.write(s.getBytes());
               //os.flush();
          catch(Exception eis){
               eis.printStackTrace();
          port.close();
     catch(PortInUseException e){
          System.out.println(e.currentOwner);
          e.printStackTrace();
     catch(Exception ecl){
          ecl.printStackTrace();
}Of course this class imports :
import java.util.Enumeration;
import javax.comm.*;
import javax.comm.CommPort;
import javax.comm.CommPortIdentifier;
import javax.comm.ParallelPort;
import javax.comm.NoSuchPortException;
import javax.comm.PortInUseException;
import java.io.*;

Wow - I wonder how the OP thought that the
Developers Home > Developer Forums > Java Forums >
Java Mobility Forums > Consumer and Commerce >Consumer and Commerce General >
Forum was a correct choice for this problem??It's the same logic that leads one to believe that being new to port communications omits them from the responsibility of using general troubleshooting techniques to isolate/identify a problem.
This logic often leads to obscure questions also, sadly.

Possible solution for problems printing with ICC profiles - esp. R2400

(N.B. This is long because I've decided to go in to details about the background of the problem etc.. Also note that whilst my experience is with the Epson R2400, anyone with problems printing using ICC profiles in Aperture may find this post helpful, as will be explained further down the post.)
Ok, here's the situation. I've been an Aperture user for over a year, and an R2400 owner for half a year. In that time I have done a huge amount of experimenting, but I've never managed to get Aperture to work perfectly with Epson's 'premium' R2400 ICC profiles - the ones you can download from their site which are better than the ones provided 'in the box'. This hasn't been too big a deal because, in fact, the R2400 does a rather good job just set to 'System Managed' in Aperture and 'Epson Vivid' with a gamma of 1.8 in the printer driver. Nevertheless, it really annoyed me that something that should work wasn't, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on. Having said that, I have come across a method which will give you pretty good prints out of your Epson R2400 using the premium profiles in Aperture - it's not perfect, but it's the best you're going to get if you want to use those profiles in Aperture. I understand the words 'it's not perfect' aren't what photography experts would probably want to hear, however, I have seen a few anguished posts from R2400 owners in here before, so I think some people may find it useful.
The whole reason why Aperture is hopeless at using the R2400's premium profiles is because - unusually - their default rendering intent is set to 'relative colorimetric' rather than 'perceptual'. You might say 'but that's good - it means you get more accurate colours!', and if you do, you're right... however, there's a snag. To get an image to reproduce well using Epson's premium profiles and relative colorimetric rendering, you really need to use black point compensation. This is where the trouble lies: Aperture's black point compensation is diabolical to the point of being unusable when used with relative colorimetric rendering - I feel I need to be awarded compensation every time I've ever tempted to use the setting. So because BPC in Aperture is unusable, that effectively makes the premium profiles unusable too, because Aperture always uses the default rendering intent specified in the profile.
The solution? Use perceptual rendering instead. Ok, so you can't change the rendering intent in Aperture, which makes that sound a tad difficult. However, as I said in the above paragraph, Aperture always obeys the default rendering intent specified in the profile... so you can see where we're going with this: we need to change the ICC profiles' default rendering intent from 'relative colorimetric' to 'perceptual'. I did some digging around and found one or two expensive pieces of software that could do that... but then I found that, lo and behold, the Mac OS has a command-line utility which can do the job for us, for precisely £0.00. It's called SIPS or 'Scriptable Image Processing System', and you can find out some information about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html#TNTAG58 For those who don't like reading technical jargon however, here's what you need to do to convert a profile's rendering intent. First go to terminal, then type in the following command:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual
Do not press 'enter' yet. Instead, add a space after 'perceptual', find the ICC profile you want to modify, and click and drag it into the terminal window. You should then find that your command looks something like this:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual /Users/yourname/folder/RandomProfile.ICC
At which point you can then press 'enter', and the command will execute, giving you an ICC profile which will now make Aperture use perceptual rendering.
There is just one further thing to be aware of after doing this: for some crazy reason, you then need to turn on BPC in Aperture for the prints to come out as good as possible. Black point compensation shouldn't make any difference when using perceptual rendering as the idea of perceptual is that it takes account of things like that anyway, however, in Aperture BPC does make a difference, so remember to turn it on to get a half decent print. In general, I find that prints made using this setup come out pretty well; they almost perfectly match prints made using the profiles with a perceptual intent in Photoshop Elements, except for the fact that Aperture blocks up the shadows a bit more than Photoshop. However, if you can live with that, you might find this is quite a workable solution.
Now, I said near the beginning of this post that all the above can apply to other printers too. Most printer profiles have 'perceptual' set as their default rendering intent, in which case everything I've just said won't be of much help. However, If you are reading this because you're having problems with ICC profiles in Aperture, but you don't use an Epson R2400, find your problematic ICC profile, double-click on it, and take a look at the window that opens: specifically, at the 'Rendering Intent' the window mentions. If it doesn't say 'Perceptual' then it may well be worth trying the steps I've outlined in this post to set it to perceptual, to see if doing so produces an improvement when using the profile in Aperture.
Finally, just one note of caution: if you decide to try out the steps I've detailed above on a paid-for custom-made profile, please back your profile up before messing with it. I haven't experienced any problems when using SIPS to change a profile's rendering intent, but I obviously can't guarantee that it won't do something weird and corrupt your expensive custom-made profile.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although (contrary to any impression I may give) I am not a colour-management expert; I'm just someone who doesn't give up when they have a problem that should be solvable.

Isn't there a way for you to do this via a Package/Procedure versus having multiple queries?
Per the BI Publisher guide,
Following are recommended guidelines for building data models:
Reduce the number of data sets or queries in your data model as much as possible. In general, the fewer data sets and queries you have, the faster your data model will run. While multiquery data models are often easier to understand, single-query data models tend to execute more quickly. It is important to understand that in parent-child queries, for every parent, the child query is executed.
You should only use multiquery data models in the following scenarios:
To perform functions that the query type, such as a SQL query, does not support directly.
To support complex views (for example, distributed queries or GROUP BY queries).
To simulate a view when you do not have or want to use a view.

Welcome to the forums Etow,
I saw your post about the issue you are having with printing from Google Chrome. Have you tried disabling your pop up blocker to see if that will help? Also see this guide about Printing with Chrome.
If the above does not help, try using Firefox or Internet Explorer to print.

Problems Printing to HP 2610 All-in-one

Hi Folks,
First off, I'm a Windows person so please don't assume I know the internals of OS-X very well (my wife is the Mac user, but is not the household "techie"). That said...
When we try to print documents to the HP 2610 All-in-one (USB connected directly to her G4), the print dialog comes up looking "almost" normal. The bottom of the print dialog only offers a "?", "Supplies.." and "Cancel" (but the left half of the cancel button is chopped off). "Send FAX Now" (greyed out) is also there. No print button! "Supplies" offers to sell me ink cartidges and "cancel" of course cancels the print job. Where is the "Print" button and how do I get it back?
System preferences, System Profiler shows the printer as available, the default, USB and running HP driver version 7.3.0 (the latest one HP offers and the one I installed after upgraging to OS-X 10.4.3) is 7.3.1). System Preferences, Printers also shows the printer as available and on a USB port.
I have tried printing from TextEdit, Office:X Word: Service Release 1 and AppleWorks 6 (6.2.2) and get the same messed up print dialog.
Oddly... the system has no problems printing to a Brother 1440 Laser (not defaulted) connected via USB to one of my Windows XP Pro systems. It can't print to it's direct connected USB HP 2610.

Problem printing wirelessly with my mfc-j835dw

Hi.
I have a problem printing to my mfc-j835dw brother printer. I did not experience this issue until our broadband provider changed our modem/router to [echolife hg521] since it was crashed. I am not sure if there is a need to check for the settings of the printer or the modem/router itself. I tried to use my mobile hotspot and connect my printer to it and luckily i could print wirelessly.
Any ideas regarding this issue?
Your response are highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Verify the router is on the latest firmware. If not, upgrade it.
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 1...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
You should use WPA2-AES and reset your TV and all your other wireless devices as it will ask for a new password/paraphrase.
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Quality problem printing in Windows 8.1 with CP1215

Recently purchased new laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro. I have had my printer for years, CP1215, via USB, without having any problems printing to it with Windows 7 Pro. I first noticed that the quality of print I receive out of my printer on the new laptop is darker. The darkness comes from black lines going diagonally across the page. I would estimate at approximately a 2 degree angle. I would also estimate that the lines appear every 4th pixel row. I have attached 2 images, printed on 2 different printers. The one on the top is the one off of my CP1215, the one on the bottom is a color copier in my office. I have zoomed in incredibly on the prints to show the lines. Just never had problems with this printer in pre Windows 8.1 days. Tried installing ljcP1215-HB-pnp-win64-en. Tried uninstalling printer, rebooting, then installing, still same problem. I also have another problem with printing, but suspect it is more of a Microsoft problem. My laptop thinks a network printer goes offline, stopping and restarting the print spooler service seems to fix that. I had to make a .bat file on my desktop to do it, it happens at least 2 times in an 8 hr work day.

Hi paulie99, Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! I understand the printer isn't printing properly from Windows 8.I will be happy to help you. Check your printer driver settings. 1. On the File menu in the software program, click Print.2. Select the driver, and then click Properties or Preferences.3. Click the Paper/Quality tab.4. In the Type is or Size is list box, select the correct media type or size. Set the quality to ImageREt 2400. I have provided a document to install the Windows print driver to see if that makes a difference.Installing the Printer Software in Windows 8.1 for a USB or Network Connection. For the network printer I would setup a static IP address. Please let me know the results if you are still having issues. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.Have a great weekend!
