Re: Hole Punch on Infoprint 2085

[Wayne McAlpine <wmcalpine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the reply, Mike.  I've done a bit more digging and have 
concluded also that a form definition will be needed.  We don't have the 
AFP utilities, but I do have the InfoPrint Designer product.

There are some predefined form definitions for stapling and stitching 
already on the system, but none apparently for hole punch.  It would be 
a real convenience if IBM would add a few ready-made ones to accomplish 
this simple task.  Or even add a DDS keyword.

I've also found that the printers do not support the DDS BOX command 
because the printer firmware was not programmed to do so.  Only the 
Infoprint models enumerated in the DDS manual support it.  Go figger!
