Are you using a centralized processing, distributed printing setup? Is all of your development/maintenance staff in a single location? You could use AFP/IPDS overlays and form definitions to do this. At the same time that you do your OVRPRTF to the distributed printing, set the overlays to be used. I would suggest a base library for the form overlays, and a country/location specific library for the customized logos. This allows the support staff to maintain the overlays in a central location (the iSeries-AS/400), and not have to worry that the proper form definitions are set up in the printers when they are installed. The overlays would be sent to the printers with the print data stream.

The documents will be despatch notes, shipping forms etc and will probably be on A4 landscape. There will be a standard layout for each form with fixed text, company logo etc which can be country specific. Additionally there will the usual variable details for each delivery etc. Barcodes will need to be printed somewhere on the document. The ideal solution would be to have a different format stored with each printer that is automatically generated depending on some control code. If anyone has any solutions and or pitfalls please let us know. There daily volume is expected to be high, so a robust and speedy process is required.
