Hi all:
Just finished a batch job where I have 21 boxes. Nested the parts and although the computer ran slow, it did nest all parts without a problem. Went to print the nested diagrams (73 pages), and the first 13 pages printed without a problem. The remaining pages printed what looks like a thumbnail image. The printed page was postage stamp size rendering the diagrams useless for me. What would cause this? By the way, when I checked the printer spool, it appeared that ecabs was send each page to the printer one at a time and each instance was good for 4 megs.

This is odd by far. How many were sent to the printer in the first pages that printed fine? were they sent all at once? Leaving the remainder individually sent to the printer?
Most printers have a radio button that can be checked to enable a delay when the printer starts. The radio button should say \"start printing after last page is spooled\". Check to see if this is checked.
In response to the size of the file being sent to the printer. I am no expert in the peripheral area but... my take on this is the file has unnecessary \"junk\" attached to it, or e_cabinets has somehow included a \"phantom image\" in the file.
Did you try a reboot before printing? you can do a test by unplugging the cable to the printer, and printing the files again. This will give you a peek see at the files without waisting valuable paper and ink. Once you determine you can delete the file(s).
Hope this helps.

Thanks Mike and Dan. I was beginning to worry. You know the old saying about \"don't fix it if it ain't broke.\" 
I have never had an operating problem with the software and this past weekend I upgraded my ram by 1 gigabyte. Since then this issue crept up. I put the memory back like it was and the problem was still there. I look forward to a solution to this.
As soon as I can gather my thoughts, I will post the next dumb question.
