Re: Overlay

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do you know how to say .....memory .....and lot's of it.

A lot depends on how "complex" the overlay is and what has to
happen in the printer to get all the bars,logos,etc,etc all
spread out and bit mapped.... Lots of memory seems to cure
most problems, but printing with overlays is just plain slow
by any means.... I also assume you are using HPT to print the
overlay, which adds even more overhead.

On a full blown IPDS printer with lots of memory, they seem to
do OK, but most IBM printers with IPDS have their own onboard
processor which helps speed things along.
