Page Segment
1. The program does not verify if the specified page segment exists. If the page
segment does not exist in a library in the library list of the job, errors are issued
when your printout is sent to the printer.
2. When a printout with an overlay is sent to the printer, the libraries in the library
list of the job that created the printout are searched to locate the specified page
segment.
You need to do the following before you create a printout with the overlay:
Put the correct page segment in a library.
Put the library in the library list.
Make sure the library that contains the desired page segment appears in
the library list before any other library containing a page segment of the
same name.
3. It is unpredictable which font will be used if a page segment contains text. The
font used to print the text can not be specified. Depending on the situation, a
font specified for text within a page segment may be used, or the printer default
font may be used.
4. It is not checked if a page segment contains either or both IM1 and IO1 format
images. IM1 images may not be printed in the desired resolution on some
printers, and IO1 images cannot be printed on some printers. When IOCA
images are used, AFP Utilities support only IOCA function set 10.
See Appendix A, “Printer Characteristics” on page 413 for restrictions of each
printer.
5. When 90, 180, or 270 is specified in the
Degree of rotation
prompt on the
Define Overlay Specifications screen, page segments defined in the source
overlay do not rotate with the overlay.
Line
Nothing is printed for lines that have a greater width than length.
Box
Nothing is printed for boxes that have line width specified which is greater than
either the box width or the box height.
Text in Box
Text in a box is formatted by using the character spacing parameter specified on
the box element. If the font size is different, formatting is incorrect.
For example:
Character spacing :
Horizontal........................ 1ð
Vertical.......................... 6
Font for text in a box
width ............................ ð.2 inches ( 5 CPI )
height ........................... ð.33 inches ( 3 CPI )
Text will be printed to the right of the correct position for center. The second and
subsequent lines will partly duplicate the preceding lines.
