Its been a while since I had to do this so the details may be a bit 
hazy...

You will need to make sure the AFP printer driver is installed on the 
PC - this is included in client access or can be obtained from 
www.printers.ibm.com somewhere. Set this up as a printer to FILE: and 
configure it to produce IOCA.

Next scan the signature onto the PC and use a picture editing program 
to set it to the correct size.

Print the image to the AFP printer device - this will prompt for a file 
name on your disk.

On the AS400, create a physical file to receive the image into and 
transfer the file from your PC into this file (by FTP, file transfer or 
other method).

Use the CRTPAGSEC command to create a page segment or the CRTOVL 
command to create an overlay
