Hi Marco,

Also +1 to AFPRSC.  For one customer I have a printer file with the 
following format for check signatures:

 A          R CHKSIG
 A                                      AFPRSC(&SIGFILE &SIGTYPE +
 A                                             &DOWN &ACROSS +
 A                                             (*SIZE &WIDTH &HEIGHT) +
 A                                             (*PATH &PATH) +
 A                                             (*MAPOPT *ST))
 A            SIGFILE      128A P
 A            SIGTYPE       10A P
 A            ACROSS         5S 3P
 A            DOWN           5S 3P
 A            WIDTH          5S 3P
 A            HEIGHT         5S 3P
 A            PATH         256A P

Everything is softcoded - the path to the file, the type of file (*JFIF 
for .jpg files), the position on the check, etc.  It even scales the 
picture to fit within the specified box.
