Thanks for the ideas. I will have to try these.

Mike,

what PC software are you using to create your overlay?  or are you using
the as400 source overlay creation stuff?
>>> I am using M$ Publisher and the IBM printer thingy (very technical ;-)
).

I have done this in the past and had some success (using cornerstone's
faxserver/400 product) but I don't believe they use as/400 resident
overlays. I think they merge the image and spool files at the pc server
level, so my experience may not be helpful.

I do know that since faxing in general is inherently ugly to images, and
that a little bit of playing around with the sizing of the image on
whatever pc application you use to create the overlay is needed to get
things to line up right.  You could also playing with the DPI of the image.


Have you tried increasing the size of the overlay?  what does it do?
>>> Currently, I haven't. This overlay also gets printed to the printers and
prints perfectly.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I have questioned this before and never got a straight answer.

I know faxing overlays works, but it doesn't work properly for me. We are
using IBM's fax software and on V4R5. It is off to the side and just all
around looks awful. Does anyone know of a good starting point to
troubleshoot this? Is anyone else doing similar things?
