RE: PAGSEG performance issue

Nick,

check the size of the logo image file.  for example, when I printed a small
logo jpg to the afp printer from windows explorer I got an entire page worth
of an image file.  When I printed from paint, the output image file was a
lot smaller.

Subject: PAGSEG performance issue


I am printing a report which contains a logo. I am using the PAGSEG keyword
and specifying DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) on the CRTPRTF command.

I am printing on a HP4050 printer defined as follows:

The problem I am having is that when I try to print the generated report, it
looks great but takes forever to print. The printer seems to pause for every
page that needs to be printed. If I remove the format that contains the
PAGSEG, the report flies out of the printer.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Any suggestions on how to increase the printing speed?

Thanks.
