The form can be scaned. In fact, any PC application can be used to generate an 
overlay. Here are the steps.

1. Install client access on a win95 PC.
          You must install the printer drivers part of client access.
2. Create a printer on the PC.
          Choose the IBM 3112 (other may work but this one i have tested).
          Configure it to print ro a file.
3. Modify the property of this printer.
          The "clip method" should be "offset plus size".
          The top and left values should be 0.<
          The width and height should be big enought to cover a hole page.
          The previous instuction may seems hard to understand but when you see 
the screen, it will all make sense.
4. Generate the overlay.
          You can use any PC  application (scan an image, paint, word ...)
5. Print this document.
          Use the printer IBM 3112
          Print to a file
6. Transfert the file on the AS/400
          Use windows explorer to copy the file in a folder in QDSL. Use 
network neiborhood to access the 400
7.  Creation of the overlay on the AS/400
          Create a work file: CRTPF  FILE(QTEMP/wrkfile) RCDLEN(8201)  
MAXMBRS(*NOMAX) LVLCHK(*NO)
          Copy the PC file in the work file: CPYFRMPCD FROMFLR(OVERLAYS) 
TOFILE(QTEMP/wrkfile) +
                                                             FROMDOC(pc_doc) 
TOMBR(ovlerlay)  MBROPT(*REPLACE) TRNTBL(*NONE)
           Create the overlay: CRTOVL     OVL(library/overlay) 
FILE(QTEMP/wrkfile)

We currently have a pre-printed form (report card) and I would like to
know what are the steps to set up the form as an overlay.  Can this form
be scanned and converted?
