Re: help with AFP printing overlay

Few steps to ease your life with overlays:

- design the overlay WITHOUT margins: set page margins (units in mm) to Top
1, Left 1. Bottom = Original bottom + Original Top - 1. Right = Original
Right + Original Left - 1. Using this page you can desing your document as
usual and also honor the coordinate 0,0 while positioning the overlay.
- placing text using POSITION(&Hpos , &Vpos) is a great advantage. It's
very easy handling offsets. Beside that POSITION allows you to move Up,
Down, Left and right even if you are beyond the desired point (the easy
part is inside page boundaries, outside is more complicated).

We have an AFP overlay where the top line is colliding with the
pre-printed letterhead logo.

(It works great on IBM printers, but collides on an HP printer).

The top line is about 3/8" down from the top of paper.

Is it possible to move the overlay up? I can change the overlay, the
OVRPRTF, or anything else.

It seems that it is starting as high as possible. Any way to move it up?

Tried to change OVRPRTF FRONTMGN(.17 .17), doesn't seem to have any effect.

Any way to over-ride the top margin and move it negative?

Is there a command sequence that will over-ride everything and move it up
(like an IPDS command or escape command?)

HP printer has IPDS card, printer file is *AFPDS.
