Hi Scott,

I thought of that a while back. But, the backup printer that is in our
Shipping Dept is a Sharp ARM350, which I can not configure as *IPDS. If I
change my PRTF/OVERLAY to fix the movement of the Overlay to print on an
IPDS printer, I can no longer print it on the Sharp printer, as the
overlay will have moved.



Thanx,

Nick

RE: Printer problems with overlays






Nick --

You mentioned that it did print when defined as an *IPDS printer but
that the overlay was off.
Is it possible to adjust the margins on the printer itself to
compensate?

You can also add front overlay offsets on the OVRPRTF command (just a
thought).

Hi Wayne,

I have just tried that, to no avail. Same problem still. This is
starting to get frustrating.

Re: Printer problems with overlays






If you're using PCL5, make EDGE-TO-EDGE=ON. It's just a guess, but what

may be happening is that the positioning of the overlay may be thrown
off because it assumes that the units of measure are from the edge of
the page. Try changing it and see what happens.

Hi Wayne,

On the configuration menu, I have the PAGE=WHOLE , EDGE-EDGE=OFF.
This

is on the IPDS Menu, the PCL5 Menu has PAGESIZE=LETTER, EDGE-EDGE=OFF,

the
PCLXL Menu has EDGE-EDGE=OFF, and the PS Menu has EDGE-EDGE=ON.

Re: Printer problems with overlays






Go into configuration mode on the printer itself and step through the
menus until you find it. I don't have a manual for that printer.

Full-page mode prints edge-to-edge on the paper. The default is
normally to shrink the image slightly to avoid attempting to print in
the unprintable borders.

Is the printer hardware configuration set to full page mode?

Hi John,

I just tried your change for changing the FIDELITY on the PRTF. Our

PRTFs
were set to *CONTENT and I changed it to *ABSOLUTE. Bad luck, same

No print.

RE: Printer problems with overlays






IIRC, had that problem once on an INFOPRINT40 and we changed the
form
content of the print from *content to *Absolute or the other way
around.
It
may be completely out of line but I think it actually worked. I
could
be
way
off base because it was a while ago

Re: Printer problems with overlays






I believe most of the lan-attached IBM printers use port 2501, not
9100

like the HP's.

Hi Everyone,

I have just recently replaced an HP LaserJet 2100TN with an IBM
InfoPrint
21 printer in our Shipping Dept. One of the main things printed on

this
printer is the Bill Of Lading. This is a PRTF with an overlay in
it.

It worked fine in the past with the HP printer, but now with the
InfoPrint
21 it will "sometimes (5%)" print, and other times, "most of the
time(95%)", the Printer will go to status "END". I have to
stop/start
the Print Writer a few times to get it to work again.

I also have Sharp ARM 350 Copier/Printer set up there with the same

exact
config, and it prints with no problems. That is where I am
printing
the
BOLs now.

Normal PRTFs print OK.

I have it configured as:

This is the same config as I had for the HP.

Also, I tried setting it up as an *IPDS printer instead of a 3812.
The

printer never "ended", but the overlay moved up about 3 lines, so I

could
not go that route.

We are at V4R5. :-(

Any help would be greatly appreciatted.



Thanx,

Nick
