Re: Hole Punch on Infoprint 2085

Thanks for the reply, Mike. I've done a bit more digging and have concluded also that a form definition will be needed. We don't have the AFP utilities, but I do have the InfoPrint Designer product.

There are some predefined form definitions for stapling and stitching already on the system, but none apparently for hole punch. It would be a real convenience if IBM would add a few ready-made ones to accomplish this simple task. Or even add a DDS keyword.

I've also found that the printers do not support the DDS BOX command because the printer firmware was not programmed to do so. Only the Infoprint models enumerated in the DDS manual support it. Go figger!

Wayne,

It's my understanding that this get's more into the form definition and may
require some more advanced AFP functionality that you don't get through an
IPDS keyword.  So a tool like AFP utilities or InfoPrint Designer may let
you do that more easily.  I just started looking at it today for use with
our 2085.  Hopefully I will have some more information in the next few
days.

I'm at a loss to figure out how to ccontrol the hole punch in our new
printer.  There doesn't seem to be any DDS keyword and there is no place
to specify it on the printer file.  Anyone have any suggestions?
