Re: Overlay rotation problems

The i Series and PSF/400 will rotate the page, but it is famous (OR shall
I say Infamous) for rotating the text orientation and point of origin ,
and leaving the graphic/overlay orientation and point of origin alone.
This causes much confusion.

So to avoid creating or learning new curse words. Start this way. Which
way do you want to print on the page? Portrait or Landscape. I'm guessing
portrait. And since I assume that the overlay will be imaged first with
any variable data on top of it, simply make it portrait. (8.375 X 9 ) .
You can still use your offset, just position the image at the usual top
left corner.

Pagrtt(0) didn't help. My text is fine, the overlay is rotated.

Here is what's happening:

Two possibilities

OVRPRTF PAGRTT({0|90|180|270}) We use this for several of our

overlays.

We have a control file that includes the overlay name, rotation, etc.

etc.

Use a *WSCST (Work Station Customizing Object) and force no page
rotation. This would require a separate device definition pointing to

the

same device.

Subject: Overlay rotation problems

I am creating an overlay from an image that was provided by a customer.

The image canvas size is 8.35 X 7" I am using 8 1/2 x 14 page size, and

am

placing the overlay offset at 7" down.

When I print the overlay to the AFP driver and try to print it on my

page,

it's rotated 90 degrees. I'm not using any page rotation on the spool
file.

I do this all the time but I'm stumped. Any ideas? Thanks
