Re: overlay creation issue

[wscott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Try opening the PC based version on any of the free AFP viewers. You might 
have to open a prior one to check functionality. Some may want file 
extension of .OVL or .AFP. But if both the new and an old one view, you 
can look at the i series object.

You can also dump the object and see if it starts with,

       LINES  000060 
 000100   5A0010D3 A8DF

The hex 10 is a length . It might vary. And it could start with a NoOp 
which would replace the D3A8DF with D3EEEE.

You can also do a hex dump on the PC object. It should have the same 
5AxxyyD3A8DF start. If you are missing the 5A or the D3, I doubt you are 
looking at an AFP overlay.

I?ve seen this. Usually changing the print text as graphics has helped.

I also have never used 600x600 that might be a problem .
