         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.
