Re: Page Segment

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.

As to creating a PAGSEG, you install AFP printer drivers - I think you get them from Ricoh, now, but the Knowledge Center should have some info. Then you "print" your JPG to a file on the PC, then copy that file to a PF on the IBM i, then run the CRTPAGSEG command over that PF - it might be a source PF, I don't remember right now.

AFPSRC is a straight replace for PAGSEG keyword, some details on parameters, but it occupies the same place in your PRTF source.

Good luck!
Vern

I guess AFPRSC can be a valid replacement.

Time to reach into the archives...... according to my notes, I did this
originally in 2009 and updated it in 2016 and not since.

They are wanting to change a logo on a document which is printed on an
AFPDS
capable printer.  I see it as a *PAGSEG type object and I have the new logo
in .jpg format.

I remember this be an arduous task last time involving several steps and
more than just one software package, but for the life of me I can't find my
notes.

While I keep searching my archives, does anyone have a "quick reference
guide/sequence of steps" for this process handy?  I remember something
about
local AFP printer drivers and converting the type along the way a couple of
times.

By the way, is there a better, 21st century replacement to what's happening
here?  I can't jump to something new due to timing (I need to replace the
existing *PAGSEG quickly), but for a better, long-term replacement for this
process I'd love to learn about some options.

As always, thanks to all in advance for your assistance.

Steve Meisinger
