We create them by scanning the original form. I can understand how you would be able to resize the image of the form before making the overlay, but the problem comes when you try to merge the print lines with the now smaller overlay. Of course they don't match up now. Resizing would seem to be the right approach, but it would have to be done with both the overlay and the print after they are merged together so that things remain lined up and in the correct place. Am I making sense or have I completely missed the concept somewhere? Terry -----Original Message----- From: Wills, Mike N.

I am using MS Publisher and I can just resize things to match what I need. It takes quite a bit of work to do. -----Original Message----- From: Terry Grider [mailto:Terry.Grider@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2003 9:06 AM To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Printing to HP LJ5Si from AS400 with overlays Like others on the list, we are trying to eliminate paper handling as much as possible through document imaging and report archiving to optical disk. One issue we can't seem to resolve is when we have a pre-printed form that we have created an overlay for. The original form extends to the very edge of the perforation on an 8.5 by 11 sized page. When we try to print the form merged with the print lines generated from the AS400, there seems to be a problem due to a limitation in the HP printer not being able to print close enough to the edge of the paper. This causes the overlay to shift out of position and things don't align properly on the form. Has anyone encountered this problem and how did you resolve it? Can everything be reduced some way so as to allow an adequate margin for the HP printer? Does some third party printing product solve this?
