RE: Overlays/AFP Printing

["Leland, David" <dleland@xxxxxxxxxx>]

>Are you sure about your statement that "..., if you're only putting

printer, too-no need for AFP/IPDS printer."?  If so, what type of SCS
printer are you talking about.  It would have to be one that supports
IPDS, because I'm fairly certain that printers such as line printers
would not handle overlays.
