Solutions and benefits
Through the near What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editor, the user
can interactively design, create, and verify AFP resources such as overlays. In
addition to the AFP resource creation and management, it provides the capability
to print users' data contained in a database file in various formats, with various
fonts and barcodes on the Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) printer without
developing any application programs. For example, it allows users to print
barcode labels from data stored in the database file.
With this program, users with various levels of experience, including
non-programmers and users with a variety of industry requirements, can easily
take full advantage of IPDS printer capability that is either not accessible to them
now or accessible only with great difficulty.
Features
Overlay Utility: Enables design of AFP electronic forms through an iSeries
interface. The design interface includes all elements of typical electronic
forms such as lines, boxes, text, images, graphics, and barcodes. Overlay
Utility provides both an interactive, near-graphical design interface and a
command interface. iSeries resident and printer-resident fonts are supported.
Complete facilities are included to compile, print, and manage an
organization's electronic forms.
Print Format Utility: Enables the interactive creation of special electronic
printing applications, directly from the iSeries database. Print Format Utility is
well suited for producing packing lists, shipping labels, or similar applications
that require graphical output. Both tumble and standard duplex are supported.
Print Format Utility produces complex output that features overlays, image,
and barcodes.
