PROD/VER:
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows 95 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you print a file that includes a TIFF image from Adobe PageMaker 5.0 to a
QMS 860 PostScript printer, you receive the following error message:

   Error: undefined Offending Command: colorimage

CAUSE
=====

By default, PageMaker 5.0 sends print output with PostScript level 2 operators.
PageMaker does not check the PostScript level of the printer first. The QMS 860
printer is a level 1 printer and generates errors when attempting to handle the
level 2 operations. This problem is not caused by the Windows 95 PostScript
printer driver.

STATUS
======

Adobe Systems, Inc. is aware of the issue and is currently working on correcting
it. For additional information, contact Adobe.

MORE INFORMATION
================

PageMaker 5.0 is manufactured by Adobe Systems, Inc., a vendor independent of
Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's
performance or reliability.
