Error

One of the following messages can appear:

Symptoms

In Brisque and PS/M, the RIP operation fails when processing a PostScript or PDF format file that was created by QuarkXPress^® 5.0. The PostScript or PDF file contains embedded OPI comments that point to high-resolution images.
Brisque and PS/M display a alert message.

Cause

This problem has been identified by QuarkXPress as a known issue in QuarkXpress version 5.01. They state “When the QuarkXTensions software, OPI, is loaded, OPI comments are generated for EPS files even if you have removed check marks in the OPI column of the Usage dialog box OPI tab and unchecked OPI Active in the Print dialog box.”

For further information and updates, refer to the OPI QuarkXTensions software section on QuarkXPress 5.01 Known Issues Web site
(http://www.quark.com/products/xpress/501knownissues.html#11).
