Re: Printer Overlays

["Richard B Baird" <rbaird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tony,

If specifying the rotation in the prtf dds is not an option (source not
available for modification)....

>From where and how is the overlay created?

Is it an afpu source overlay?  There is a 'degree of rotation' parm in the
first option (define overlay specs) of change source overlay utility.

is it from the output of a graphics program (printed to afp driver)?
then open the original image in PhotoShop or some-such, rotate it there and
re-print to afp driver, upload and recreate the overlay.

hth,

rick

Hi,
Sorry for the old, beaten topic, but I can't find any help on this one.
I've spent time in the archives but find no help.

I've got an overlay (which I have little experience with) which prints on
the top of a 9x11 page.  It needs to print on a 132-col report, but prints
only down the left-hand side of the page, ie., the prtf rotates, but the
overlay doesn't.
It seems that IBM's docs on this mention a "*ROTATION" parameter, but I
don't know how to specify this.

So the question is: How do I specify a 90-degree rotation on the overlay,
leaving the prtf text as it is?  If it's on the OVERLAY keyword in the DDS,
please include an example.

TIA
