PRESCRIBE Command Reference
6
If an attempt is made to create figures outside of the printable area using these
commands, the coordinates are adjusted automatically so that the figures print inside the
printable area. As in the example below, this can produce printed results different from
what is expected.
Printing extremely complex figures can exhaust printing system memory. Downloadable
fonts can be particularly taxing on printing system memory, producing unexpected print
results. It may be possible to correct the problem by removing some of the downloaded
fonts or by simplifying the graphic. To determine current memory usage, refer to a status
page.
