|
|
<p>When an overlay is specified in a printer file, you can merge data from
|
|
a spooled file onto the same piece of paper that the overlay is printed on.
|
|
The FRONTOVL parameter specifies the overlay to be printed on the front side
|
|
of the paper; the BACKOVL parameter specifies the overlay for the back side
|
|
of the paper.</p>
|
|
<p>With your application program, you can use overlays that you created yourself
|
|
using the Advanced Function Presentation™ Utilities for iSeries™ licensed program, or overlays sent from zSeries®.</p>
|
|
<p>For more information about the Advanced Function Presentation Utilities for iSeries licensed program, see the <a href="../books/s5445349.pdf">AFP™ Utilities
|
|
for iSeries User's Guide</a>
|
|
<img src="wbpdf.gif" alt="Link to PDF" />.</p>
|
|
<p>The following diagram is an example of an overlay you can create using
|
|
the AFP utilities. Additionally, the diagram shows how the merged spooled
|
|
file data (Variable Page Data in the diagram) can be integrated into one document.</p>
|
|
<p>The merged document can be printed on any IPDS™ printer configured with AFP(*YES) in the
|
|
printer's device description.</p>
|
|
<p>The overlays can only be merged with a spooled file that was created using
|
|
a device type (DEVTYPE) of *SCS, *IPDS, or *AFPDS. The *AFPDS must have been
|
|
created on an iSeries server.</p>

<p><span class="bold">Using overlays and rotation</span></p><blockquote>
|
|
<p>Rotation can occur for text and overlays. The iSeries server treats
|
|
text and overlays separately. That is, text is rotated using the page rotation
|
|
(PAGRTT) parameter of the printer file. Overlay rotation must be determined
|
|
at the time the overlay is created. Overlays are not rotated by the PAGRTT
|
|
parameter.</p>
|
|
<p>To use the contents of the same overlay with different degrees
|
|
of rotation (0 and 90 degrees), you create the overlay twice, once for 0 degrees
|
|
and once for 90 degrees.</p>
|
|
<p>Assuming that you want the text and the overlay
|
|
to be read in the same direction, the overlay offset values (down and across)
|
|
on the printer file need to change depending on the degree of rotation of
|
|
the text (PAGRTT parameter). That is, an overlay created with 90 degrees rotation
|
|
is most often used with text that is rotated 90 degrees. </p>

<ol type="1">
|
|
<li>Determining the overlay parameter values is made easier by focusing on
|
|
a particular corner of the overlay depending on the degree of rotation specified.</li>
|
|
<li>Keep in mind that paper does not rotate as it passes through the printer.</li>
|
|
<li>The page size (PAGESIZE) values (down, across) must be viewed differently
|
|
depending on the page rotation value (PAGRTT) specified. The examples show
|
|
this concept by having numbers along the edge of the page.</li>
