Re: Creating AFP overlays

Actually, I've only ever used 5722-AF1. :)

Back in about 1996, at a prior employer we were moving to the AS/400.
Wanted to do electronic forms for our invoices. In order to match the
existing pre-printed form. I needed 1/8" shaded lines every other line (at
8 LPI). 5722-AF1 was the only thing that gave me the exact control I
needed.

The overlay is still in use today, as is a couple similar ones.

Thanks for the info about it being discontinued, I'll have to pass that
along.

Mike,

We've been doing the overlays the same way you do for years and it works
pretty well once you get the hang of it. And, you can use existing
print
drivers along with commands that built into the IBM i OS. We recommend
this method to our customers as well.

What are people using to create an overlay to use with AFP? Is Infoprint
Designer still the only IBM option? It was very expensive the last time we
looked considering we maybe have 6 forms we could convert to a PDF. The two
we have done were created using Word and the AFP print driver from IBM,
then uploaded to the IFS and converted. (then test print and start all over
again)

Is anyone using this [2]
