RIP error: 'Connection forcibly closed by remote host'

This error appears in the Print tab of the RIP. 

The cause is either:

-  a comms issue (e.g wrong IP) or

-  a file issue  (sending wrong format, wrong size due to settings on Printer Controller,..)

Triage process:

Case of Hosonsoft with PrintBridge

-  Change the connection to Folder instead of TCP/IP

-  Manually import in Hosonsoft the file and if it is a file issue, the controller will show and Error

-  Check the Log of the printer controller (Lightbulb in case of Hosonsoft)

-> In this case error: Print width exceeds Max  motion distance:  was down to the file sent that is not fitting the available print width:  Settings:  Print Start position is 300mm.  Residual media printing is 300MM (600mm is max print width) 

Print start was set to 300mm
