Symptoms

 

Black dots appear in the white background.


Cause

 

The Improof update from the 4.1 Additional Update CD may not be installed.


Solution

 

Verify that the Improof update from the 4.1 Additional Update CD is installed. If not, install the update and do the following:

  1. Download the patch extraDots.tar.Z (23 MB). This patch replaces the mix0.xx, mix1.xx, mix2.xx, mix3.xx, mix4xx, mix5xx and mix6.xx files in the directory /scitex/version/prf_screen/.
  2. Before loading the patch, back up the files (for example, type cp -p mix0.xx mix0.xxorg).
  3. Download the extraDots.tar.Z executable file to the system (/dataVolumes/x1.0/.updates) and type the following commands:
    • # cd /dataVolumes/x.1.0/.updates
    • # uncompress extraDots.tar.Z
    • # tar -xvf extraDots.tar

    The new files will be automatically located in the directory /scitex/version/prf_screen/.

The final solution will be included in the next Improof update.
