I would start with the DDS manual on printing.

There is no "basic" discussion of AFPDS.

From your description, all of that can be handled using DDS and basic printing
methods.

1. Are you using overlays ?
2. Are you using an existing external print file ?
3. Font selection depends on the printer and print stream being used.

Here is the basic font info:

Are you printing to a pdf or from a pdf ?

I have a packing slip to print on the system. the orientation is
landscape. The PO number prints as a barcode in the upper right corner. The
font is proportional. Some of the text prints bold. Horizontal lines are
used to separate the detail lines from the column headings.

The printer is either a client access attached laser printer or a PDF file.

Will I be able to accomplish all of this with AFPDS? What are the basics?
FNTCHRSET for a proportional font? Use POSITION to position everything on
the page? Can I still use SPACEB if POSITION is used?

thanks,
