RE: Printing to HP LJ5Si from AS400 with overlays

How are you creating the overlay? I am using MS Publisher and I can just
resize things to match what I need. It takes quite a bit of work to do.

Subject: Printing to HP LJ5Si from AS400 with overlays


Like others on the list, we are trying to eliminate paper handling as much
as possible through document imaging and report archiving to optical disk.
One issue we can't seem to resolve is when we have a pre-printed form that
we have created an overlay for.  The original form extends to the very edge
of the perforation on an 8.5 by 11 sized page.  When we try to print the
form merged with the print lines generated from the AS400, there seems to be
a problem due to a limitation in the HP printer not being able to print
close enough to the edge of the paper.  This causes the overlay to shift out
of position and things don't align properly on the form.  Has anyone
encountered this problem and how did you resolve it?  Can everything be
reduced some way so as to allow an adequate margin for the HP printer?  Does
some third party printing product solve this?

Thanks,
