RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: overlay creation issue -- MIDRANGE-L

Thanks for the info.
I have gotten this part of the problem resolved, but I now seem to be in overlay hell.

I have 2 separate issues. I will ask about the immediate issue, then come back for the secondary issue, if I can't resolve it.

So I'm making changes to existing overlays.
These are 11x17.
There is a full page overlay on 1 side
And on the other side is half overlay and the other half is printer file generated.

The changes I have made are minimal and no changes have been made to the printers

When I print to the printer nearest the primary user, one side of the overlay is flipped upside down. When I print it to another printer, it prints properly

I have verified the old print outs were not doing this.

Any idea how what might be causing this?

Mike

Try opening the PC based version on any of the free AFP viewers. You might have to open a prior one to check functionality. Some may want file extension of .OVL or .AFP. But if both the new and an old one view, you can look at the i series object.

You can also dump the object and see if it starts with,

LINES 000060
000100 5A0010D3 A8DF

The hex 10 is a length . It might vary. And it could start with a NoOp which would replace the D3A8DF with D3EEEE.

You can also do a hex dump on the PC object. It should have the same 5AxxyyD3A8DF start. If you are missing the 5A or the D3, I doubt you are looking at an AFP overlay.

I?ve seen this. Usually changing the print text as graphics has helped.

I also have never used 600x600 that might be a problem .

I'm trying to create an overlay, but I'm getting odd results.

I've done quite a few of these, but haven't done one in about 3 years.

such time, I am now on a windows 10 machine and have had to recreate
my

AFP

printers.
I downloaded from ricoh

Image resolution is 600x600
Paper size is 11x17
Output type is overlay
Clip limits is top 0, left 0, width 17, height 11 offset plus size

and

units in inches
Image options is default dither, graphic options none, color-black and
white Print text as graphics = on

I have tried various combitions of paper size and orientation But when
I print the overlay the text is unreadable. The numbers print ok, but
characters are not.

Also, using TRNTBL(*NONE) and TRNFMT(*NOTEXT) on the CPYFRMPCD command.

Any ideas what may be causing this.
