        Mark,

        How do you know when to print the image?  If there is a a way to do
    this,
        then a simple OVRPRTF will allow you to change the image on the
    page.
    You
        will have to create the overlays and get them over to the regular
    400
    from
        the ifs.  If you want, you can read about it on the ignite/400 site
    and
        search on overlay.

        HTH,

        Craig Jacobsen

          Rob,

            These are supporting documents for invoices, so there is no
    "fixed"
          image,
          like a logo might be.  Would it still be practical to use overlays
    for
          this
          function?

          Have you done overlays?  Perhaps you could print the interleave
    page
    as
          a
          blank page with an overlay on it.  There might be a faq on how to
    make a
          document an overlay.

          Printing images from the /400

            I'm working on a project to print images from the /400.  This
    *should*
          be
          easy nowadays, where GUI is the norm insterad of the exception,
    but
          there
          seems to be a dearth of easy to follow information in this area.

            Goal:
            Print customer invoices, interleaving 0 to n supporting
    documents
          (e.g.
          Proof of Delivery) between each invoice.

            Current setup:
            Invoices are generated as a standard *SCS spool.

            Documents have already been scanned as TIFF images and reside in
    the
          IFS.

            Printers support PCL5 or PCL6 and are mostly HP.  They are
    currently
          configured as *LAN printers, using the 3812 mod 1 type description
    and
          Host
          Print Transform.

            There might be up to 1000 invoices on a particular day, though
    the
          volume
          is spread out over numerous offices, so spool generation
    performance
    is
          not
          much of an issue.  Plus, the bulk of them can be generated
    overnight.
    It
          is
          also not practical to invest in *IPDS type printers.

            I would like to import / reference the images on the fly, as the
          invoices
          are being generated, instead of generating the *SCS spool and
    doing
          post-processing.

            Questions:
            What API's, if any, would be required to do this?

            Can TIFF images be used or do they need to be converted to some
    other
          format?

            Is any additional software required from IBM (e.g. AFPU) or can
    this
          be
          done with the existing facilities in i5/OS?  (We would rather stay
    away
          from another chargeable licensed program, unless the benefits it
          provides
          make it a "must have" tool.)

            Are any device configuration changes required, e.g. AFP(*YES)?

            Any assistance, code samples, etc. would be appreciated.

            Thank you.
