Rob, Why use the 240 driver over the 300? Thanks, Frank rob@xxxxxxxxx@midrange.com on 09/12/2005 11:37:37 AM Please respond to Midrange Systems Technical Discussion <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: Subject: Re: Print overlay Someone really needs to write up a FAQ or a wiki entry on the following. I'm in a bit of a hurry but these steps may assist you. They are a bit dated; they still use QDLS. Type up your box in Word. Load the IBM AFP 240 printer driver on your PC (not the 300 driver) Creating Overlays On the PC: Create the document for the overlay in Microsoft Word or other application. Choose print and select the IBM AFP 240 printer driver. Check the print to file check box. Click the properties button. Click on output type and select "medium overlay". Click OK to accept. Click OK to create the file. Transfer the file to the AS/400: Click on the START button, select programs, accessories, command prompt. When the command prompt window opens you will need to FTP the file to a folder on the AS/400 as follows: cd {path to location of overlay file from the print operation above} ftp GDISYS bin cd /qdls/folder put overlay.prn quit On the AS/400: 1. Create a temporary physical file on the AS/300 to copy into: CRTPF FILE(library/WORKF) RCDLEN(8201) LVLCHK(*NO) 2. Copy the overlay file from the folder to the physical file: CPYFRMPCD FROMFLR(folder) tofile(library/WORKF) FROMDOC(MYOVL.PRN) TRNTBL(*NONE) TRNFMT(*NOTEXT) 3. Create your overlay: CRTOVL OVL(library/MYOVL) FILE(library/WORKF) MBR(MYOVL) 4. You may now specify this overlay in the FRONTOVL parameter of a printer file. It should overlay the generated output (when printed) Rob Berendt -- Group Dekko Services, LLC Dept 01.073 PO Box 2000 Dock 108 6928N 400E Kendallville, IN 46755 http://www.dekko.com "Trevor Perry" <tperry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx 09/12/2005 10:04 AM Please respond to Midrange Systems Technical Discussion <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To "Midrange Systems Technical Discussion" <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> cc Subject Print overlay Can anyone give me guidance on how to create (and use) an overlay on a spooled file?
