Why do I sometimes get msg 538 PAGE SEGMENT CONTAINS INVALID DATA when I upload and use psegs from the AFP OS/2 or Windows driver?
You get this message when the pseg has a rotation of other than 0,90 (portrait) in the IOC record for IM1 raster image or the OBP record for IOCA image. The driver creates image at rotations other than 0,90 and DCF won't accept it. It's an old restriction. How to get around it? Version 1.04 of the Pennant AFP Printer Driver for Windows (June,1994) and V1.14 (licensed version) contains a fix so IM1 (uncompressed) image will always be written out at rotation 0,90. All versions of both the Pennant AFP PM Printer Driver for OS/2 and the IBM AFPDS Printer Driver for OS/2 rotate ALL of their output to print at rotation 0,90. The easiest thing to do is recreate your pseg with the newer versions of the driver or an OS/2 driver to work around the DCF restriction. Katie Huxford, DCF & Utilities Dev & Service, Boulder
