rotation must be specified for the graphic.)

the value or the length of the field is not correct.
You specified *ABSOLUTE for the print fidelity for a printer

One or more
elements are not

SBCS font for DBCS text.
The line width is 0.
The record layout has no element.
You specified a font of font type 1 (specified with a font and
character identifier) or did not specify any font although the
printer supports only font type 2 (specified with a coded font)
and font type 3 (specified with a code page and a font
character set).
You specified a font of font type 2 (specified with a coded font)

character set) although the printer supports only font type 1
(specified with a font and character identifier)
You specified a color that is not supported by the printer.
Different image
(page segment) is
printed
The image is not in a library in the library list when the spooled
file is created or another image resides in a library that is
higher in the library list.
The image is changed before the spooled file is printed.
The image is an IM1 image and the density (usually 240 pels
per inch) is different from that of the printer.
You specified a different mapping option when you created the
page segment.
Text lines overlap The height of the font is not the same as the value specified for
the lines per inch on the Overlay Specifications display or the
PFD Specifications display.
Text in a box is not
formatted correctly
The font size is not the same as the value specified for the
character spacing on the box element.
Font is not as
expected
The specified font does not exist and it was substituted by
another font.
If the printer is different, the printout may somewhat vary
although the same font is specified.
Character size is not
as expected
You specified different values for width and height of the
character size, but some printers do not support different
values and the smaller value is used for both width and height.
The printer does not support changing the character size.
The text uses a font of font type 2 (specified with a coded font)
or font type 3 (specified with a code page and a font character
set) although you cannot change the character size for these
types of fonts.
The font has more spaces around the characters than you
expected. (The width and height specifies the font size
including spaces around characters.)
