Barbara,
It could be memory in the printer.
It could be memory pools on the Power i .
Check WRKSYSSTS screen and F11 to the view that shows the pools.
Tuning can get into so many variables (plus it may really be the printer
memory...
But do make sure your Pool Size is suitable (or if QPFRADJ Performance
Adjust System Value is on), and the Max Active is not so small that many
printers waiting.
Also, what is the size (bytes) of the overlay?
(sample WRKSYSSTS)
System Pool Reserved Max
Pool Size (M) Size (M) Active Pool
1 877.74 449.63 +++++ *MACHINE
2 10823.58 2.94 189 *BASE
3 3598.05 .00 388 *INTERACT
4 188.62 .00 10 *SPOOL
The Printing Redbooks (later ones) had some formulas for calculating the
tuning values.

We've had this problem before. The printer doesn't have enough local memory
to handle the pages coming down from the iSeries.

This is a check print with an signature overlay attached to the OVRPRTF in
the CL.
When he release the spool file and take the change of forms option, it will
sit at the WTR status on outq and then finally start printing to the
printer. He also stated that it does this between each check page to print.
Barb:
When we cut checks, the check register and copy of the checks come out fine,
but the actual check takes anywhere from 30 seconds to one minute for each
check. This has happened since we sent the system to your location. We have
not said anything about it until now because we were only cutting a few
checks at a time, but we may be cutting big batches of checks within the
next few weeks and this would take all day to cut each batch of checks. Is
there anything you can do to help?
Thank you for any help you can give us
Paul
P.S. I will be leaving the office today at 2:30 EST
