EDAS: the gutter between columns is 0.16 inches wide (on page 2), but should be at least 0.2 inches.

Submit a manuscript through EDAS and I am using the IEEEtran class (conference option). EDAS gives the following errors:

Solutions:

1. May be caused by figures or tables which cross two columns.

Before modification:

1. \ begin{figure*}[ht]
2. \ begin{center}
3. \includegraphics[scale= 0.65]{Figure/SystemSchematic_new.eps}
4. \caption{Schematic diagram of the hybrid precoding system under consideration}\label{fig:BlockDiagram}
5. \ end{center}
6. \ end{figure*}

After modification：

1. \ begin{figure*}[htpb]
2. \centering
3. \ begin{minipage}[t]{0.7\linewidth}
4. \includegraphics[width= 5.6in,height=3in]{Figure/SystemSchematic_new.eps}
5. \caption{Schematic diagram of the hybrid precoding system under consideration}\label{fig:BlockDiagram}
6. \parbox{ 6.5cm}{\small \hspace{1.5cm} }
7. \ end{minipage}
8. \ end{figure*}

Passed.

 

2. May be caused by the page number. try to remove the page number

Before modification:

\maketitle
% %%% add page number in IEEE, should be placed after \maketitle
\thispagestyle{plain}
\pagestyle{plain}

 

After modification: (Comment the add page number.)

\maketitle
% %%% add page number in IEEE, should be placed after \maketitle
% \thispagestyle{plain}
% \pagestyle{plain}

 

 

3. Try to add in preamble \usepackage{showframe} and than see, if all pages are inside of page layout. then try rephrase content of fourth page or page before, that it will fit into frame. on the end remove \usepackage{showframe} from preamble!

 

4. Add \columnsep 0.2in before \begin{document}

\setlength{\columnsep}{0.2 in}
\def\BibTeX{{\rm B\kern-.05em{\sc i\kern-.025em b}\kern-.08em T\kern-.1667em\lower.7ex\hbox{E}\kern-.125emX}}
