We are having a problem with the output on our IBM 3900 printer. When we print multiple jobs on continuous form paper, small "copy marks" or "job separators" are printed across the perforations so when the paper is stacked you can tell when a new print job starts and ends. These lines print: ____ one for the first job, _____ _____ for the second job, _____ _____ _____ for the third job. Then it starts over again 1, 2, 3 .... and so forth... Unfortunately these marks are interfering with our post-processing equipment and we want to turn them off. It took several weeks for IBM to finally locate someone who understood the printer operating system enough to tell it not to print the "copy marks" ... but when we send an OS/400 generated AFP file to the printer, they still print! Looking over the AFP PSF, printer file and *OUTQ descriptions I can't see anyway to influence "copy marks" at all. Does anyone know how we might be able to STOP these little buggers from printing on our forms? Kenneth **************************************** Kenneth E.
