Re: Printing Logos

[Russell Conerly <rconerly@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ken,

You need to install the AFP print drivers that come with Client Access
on your PC.  I've had good luck using the IBM 3812 AFP driver.

You could then print the logo(s) that you want to use, using MS Word
or MS paint, etc. selecting the AFP printer and printing them to a
file.  You will need to designate on the printer properties that you
are creating an page segment.

Once this is done, FTP a binary image of the print file to a PF
created on your AS/400.  This file will need to be created with the
MAXIMUM record length (32766 I think) and LVLCHK(*NO) beforehand.

Then use the CRTPAGSEG command to create the page segment in your
specified library.  Then you will need to reference the page segment
in your external printfile.  

One more thing...create your printfile with DEVTYPE(*AFPDS).

That is a short synopsis of how I've done it before.  Your mileage may
vary.

I hope it helps.
