You need to do the following before you create a printout with the overlay: Nothing is printed for lines that have a greater width than length. Nothing is printed for boxes that have line width specified which is greater than either the box width or the box height. 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: Text will be printed to the right of the correct position for center. The second and subsequent lines will partly duplicate the preceding lines. To avoid this situation, specify the character spacing value equal to that of the font. It sometimes takes a long time to print shaded boxes (especially with the IBM 4028 printer). AFP Utilities for iSeries has no limitations and restrictions for the graphics (GDF) size, but printing an overlay which contains some large graphics (GDF) or too many graphics may cause a printer storage excess error. In such cases, check the printer storage size. Chapter 22. Limitations and Restrictions 393 Character spacing : Horizontal........................ 10 Vertical.......................... 6 Font for text in a box width ............................ 0.2 inches ( 5 CPI ) height ........................... 0.33 inches ( 3 CPI ) Text in Box Box Line v Put the correct page segment in a library. v Put the library in the library list. v 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, support only IOCA function set 10. 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. See “Appendix A. Printer Characteristics” on page 417 for restrictions of each printer. Graphics (GDF) Size Shading in Box
