Initial Copy for Page Format One

APU automatically creates the initial copy for page format one (the default name for the copy is *ORIGINAL). Define the details of that first copy, as follows:

1.Specify general page layout options that includes the constant (Terms and Conditions) back overlay (INVBAC)

2.Map data in the spooled file, such as the zip code to POSTNET bar code.

3.Add the constant text Customer Copy at the bottom

4.Place page one overlay (INVALL) on front

5.Define two additional copies, the packing list copy and file copy, by first copying the definition of the *ORIGINAL copy

6.Change the packing list copy, suppressing pricing information and printing Packing List as constant text

7.Change the file copy, printing File Copy at the bottom

Continuation Page Format

At this point, you have defined how page one and its copies will look. Because the page format for the continuation pages will have a very similar layout to page one, just copy the entire page format. The steps are:

1.Copy the page one format (PAGE1) to the second or continuation page format (PAGEN).

2.Make the appropriate changes to the copies within this PAGEN format, such as changing the front overlay used.

Working with a Print Definition

Identifying Resources

To use the following procedure, you will use the following sample resources that are included in the QAPU library:

vAn overlay that contains the lines, boxes, and shading that you want on the preprinted form. This overlay is called INVALL in the sample in the QAPU library.

vA page segment that contains the company logo. In the samples that are included in the QAPU library, this page segment is called SUNLOGO.
