Re: AFP PagSeg/Overlay error -- MIDRANGE-L

William,

Interesting. I had made sure to change the driver right away to page segment, so it seems that the driver is not behaving properly. To you have a link where I can get good drivers, for Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit?

When ever you see the '5A . .D3A8A5'X as an error, you created a print

'D3A8A5'X is a BPF Begin Print File.

I have experienced the same error on a Win 7 Enterprise pc after the AFP
drivers became corrupted (couple months ago). I had to download them
again.
I remember the reason 02. Each time it happened had to reboot the pc.
Not sure if this is exactly you situation, but I saw it as a Win issue.

I have been trying to create a *PAGSEG or *OVL object with no success
from an image file. I am opening the file in Windows and "printing" it

to

a file via one of the above mentioned drivers.

I drag/drop that file to the IFS (Explorer -> Navigator) and FTP it as

a

binary to a PF. When I attempt to create the PAGESEG I receive an error
message and the object is not created.

The message I receive is:

Additional Message Information
Message ID . . . . . . : CPD88C0 Severity . . . . . . . : 30
Message type . . . . . : Diagnostic

Message . . . . : File AFP in MLLIB not valid for creating a *PAGSEG.
Cause . . . . . : The file or member cannot be used to create a

printer

resource. *N means that the incoming data was an internal system space.

No

source file or library is specified. The reason code is 02. The reason
codes and their meanings are:
1 - A length field contained in the incoming data for the printer
resource is not correct.

2 - The structured field identifier in the incoming data for the
printer resource is not correct or is not supported. The error was
detected while processing record 1, byte number 47. The structured

field

which is not correct may be caused by a length that is not correct on

the

previous structure field. The structured field which was being

processed

at the time is '5A002ED3A8A5'X.

3 - The file or member specified contains no data.

4 - The incoming data for the printer resource is not correct. The
resource must contain an END structured field that is appropriate for

the

type of resource being created. The END structured field identifier
expected for this resource is ''X.

Recovery . . . : Verify that the names of the file, library, and

member

are specified correctly on the command. If the data originated on
another system, also make sure that the record length of the physical

file

is correct.

I have tried several AFP drivers including a couple of generic ones and

a

few Inforprint ones, including the IBM Infoprint 20. I set the port to
:FILE and the output type to page segment (or overlay, with the same
results). I tried with both compressions on and off. Also several
resolution sizes.

Any ideas??
