PDF Document printing from the AS400
We have product information sheets which we include inside the box our product is sold in. Our production department want to be able to print on demand these sheets, but they want to do it from an AS400 screen. Is anyone familiar with a product(s) that can do document printing/serving from the AS400? These are static PDF files usually double sided that are printed in various colors of ink and on various types of paper. Ideally I would like to be able to create some kind of system whereby the user only has to select the items that he/she is packing and the product sheets would automatically print out in the correct color and on the correct paper. No user intervention required except to select the line item of the order they are working on. Thomas Hauber Senior Programmer/Analyst General Ribbon Corp.

Printing on AS400 via IBM AS400 Java Toolkit
Hello all, I'm working on a program that needs to send a print job to a printer connected to an AS/400. I've tried using the SpooledFileOutputStream and I've also tried using one of the SCS Writer classes. Neither solution is working. With the SpooledFileOutputStream I am at least able to create my print file, but when my program ends, the file is still not being printed. This program does not run on the AS400, it runs on a PC and connects to the AS400 via the toolkit classes. I know this part works as I am able to use the toolkit to access Data Queues, Files and Data Areas without a problem. Is there anyplace anyone can point me to see some examples of how to print a file using the AS400 Java Toolkit? Thanks in advance, Chuck Chuck, What printer data stream is used? or how was the printer data generated? I am wondering if the data stream being generated matches the data stream of the printer connected to the iSeries? What printer is attached to the iSeries and how is it configured?

AS400 to AS400 data transfer #2
Hi I need to place a trigger on a set of tables on an AS400 to fire off whenever new records are added to these tables. This trigger program will then transfer the data to another AS400 across a WAN. This will allow us to transfer orders from one system to another. Can anyone tell me how I would achieve this. Normally if it had been a PC I would have used an ODBC type application but I am not sure what is available to me for AS400 to AS400 data transfer. I know that we can transfer a SAVF by FTP but this is not a route I would like to go down. I would prefer to populate tables directly if possible. We are using 2 model 820's with OS400 V5 R2 Thanks for any help offered Iain ...

print pdf from as400
Hi I know this topic came up before but no clear answer has been provided yet.

Print or Save a PDF document, as a PDF file, "2 up"?
OS X allows one to print most documents to a PDF file and/or to print documents "2 up" (2 pages/page) or even higher. But I can't seem to print a PDF document to a PDF file this way -- at least not from Adobe Acrobat. The OS X Print dialog says "Use Save, not Print", but Acrobat's Save As doesn't seem to have a 2-up option. How to do this?

If you want say one record but every 3 seconds then you can either store them up for a few hours days or weeks & use FTP, snads or a tape. Or you can do it realtime & use DDMF to zap each record to the other machine as its written. I actually save the data I want sending this way into a file which is read & deleted by a daemon style of job so that if comms or the other machine fails only the daemon is affected. FTP has its upside in that the target is easily resettable for say a unix machine but SNADS has an easy to use & understand message sent to the sender & recipient to verify arrival of the data. -- Jonathan Bailey. You could install the No Charge SW "Object Connect" from the OS CDs. Once setup you can issue cmds line SAVRSTLIB and SAVRSTOBJ. Give these cmds the LIB or OBJ list and the target system. It then saves/transfers/restores to the target system all with just the 1 SAVRSTxxx cmd. tom wro...

How to print overlays in a spooled document on AS400
Hi, I am trying to print an overlayed image in a spool file on AS400. The way I am doing it is I configured IBM AFP 300 printer driver on my PC. Then select the output type as overlay in the above printer properties. After that I created an image(bitmap) on my PC saved it with .oly extension,then I can see this image in AFP bench viewer. After that put this file in a folder created on IFS. Then I followed the following steps CRTPF,CPYFRMPCD and CRTOVL to create an *OVL object on AS400. I created a printer file and in the DDS included a record format for overlay and used the keyword OVL(*LIBL/overlayobjectname 6.3 4.3) and tried to print this file. Now in the AFP bench viewer I can see only the header and footer but no overlay image!!! If anybody can highlight the missing steps in the above process Please let me know the correct one. Did you compile the prtf with DEVTYPE *AFPDS (not *SCS) option??

How to print lines and boxes in a spooled document on AS400
I am trying to print pagsegments and overlays in a spool file on AS400.The spoolfile needs to be formatted and vertical ,horizontal lines as well as boxes are reuired to be inserted in the splf.The operating system version I am using is V5R1. I have seen LINE(1.3 2.6 0.2 *VRT *NARROW) and BOX keywords but they are not working in the DDS on my version.As I can't see these keywords in the help of Printer file keywords. I can do the above task by drawing overlays but It would be least effort consuming if keywords work.

Printing to PDF automatically saves document #2 454949
When I print to a PDF using the 'Adobe PDF' printer (I think this uses Distiller), I'm prompted to save the document at the time the job prints so I give the document a meaningful name and location and all is well. However, at the same time, a copy of the document is automatically saved in the folder that the printer port was created in and has a name similar to the file from which it was printed, but with a PDF extension. Is it possible to turn off the 'auto save' document? This is only a problem because I've specified for the PDF printer port, the folder in which I save most of the documents, so that the File|Save dialog box opens in the correct folder and saved having to browse to it each time. Unfortunately, this also means that I have to keep deleting the unwanted 'auto save' copies. I have tried creating a special Temp folder within the correct save folder and setting the PDF printer port to this location so at least the unwanted files are out of the way, but of course it also means that the Save dialog opens in this folder and I have to browse to the correct location. It's not exactly a major problem, but as it's a situation I'm in dozens of times a day, I'd welcome a more complete solution. Does anybody have any suggestions? -- Jonathan Finney ...

AS400 Printing
Hello, I have an HP Laserjet 4200 printer with 3 trays, configured on my network. How do I set it up so that any AS400 spool file with formtype A4 automatically prints from the 3rd tray on the bottom and anything else with formtype *ALL or *STD prints out of the 2nd tray? Maybe someone has experienced the same thing and could head me into the right direction. Thanks, Shannon Go to Knowledge Base. http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.nsf/slkbase Search for "tray" or "drawer". Do some experimenting. Default drawer in a spoolfile is "1". In which tray does that end up? Change a spoolfile to Drawer 2, 3 or even 4 to see if it ends up in the other trays. If you find Spoolfile Drawer Values which fits your needs then all you have to do is change the printerfiles with formtype A4 to a specific Drawer and all the other printerfiles to another Drawer. Or you mean you want this function only on this HP 4200? Then we have to think some more... -- Bengt "Shannon" <stilley@nbnet.nb.ca> wrote in message news:Dd3xc.55036$Np3.2437225@ursa-nb00s0.nbnet.nb.ca... > Hello, > > I have an HP Laserjet 4200 printer with 3 trays, configured on my network. > How do I set it up so that any AS400 spool file with formtype A4 > automatically prints from the 3rd tray on the bottom and anything else with > formtype *ALL or *STD prints out of the 2nd tray? > > Maybe someone has experienced the same thing and could head me into th...

as400 printing
Hi Guys: I just found this newsgroup. I'm an IT Manager at a firm with an AS400, just started the job. I'm not an AS400 guy. We have an AS400 running V5R3 (I believe). Our users connect to a vertical app. one of my users is using the IBM Client Access software to print a report to a local printer. the report is supposedly defined on the AS400 as a landscape report. However, when she prints it out to her local printer, the orientation is portrait. When the report is printed to a different printer, it comes out landscape. I've no idea where to begin on this. Can someone help me figure out how to make it print out landscape on her local printer? I went into her printer properties and set the printer default to landscape with no luck getting the report to print landscape. so there must be something that is injecting the printer control codes to tell the device to print portrait. i'm not sure if it's these PDT files i've heard about, or whether it's the print device setup in the AS400 itself. The end user says that a previous IT person used to be able to make a change at the client side to have it come out landscape. i'm not sure how. Help! Somebody please give me a clue! (yes, I don't have one!) :) You would need to check to see how the spooled file attributes are set on the i5/OS (AS400) side. The way to do this is to use WRKSPLFA (option 8 from WRKOUTQ, WRKSPLF or WRKJOB OPTION(*SPLF)) and scroll down through the attributes....

PDF Printing #2
Hello, All! This is probably a curly one. I want to print a series of reports, and for each report I want to attach and print an accompanying PDF file. So record 1 has a report page and then there is a PDF file that relates to this record that I want printed at the same time. The trick is to print all the records and have the corresponding PDFs appear in the report in the right spot. Any clues?? g Maybe generate a batch file that (for each report) -- launches the viewer to print a single report -- launches acrobat to print the associate pdf then, after generating for all the reports, launch the batch file and wait for it to finish.

AS400 Printing Issue
I have setup a remote queue pointed at a Netgear PS101 which is connected to an Comapq LG15 Lineprinter. The printer prints as expected with a few quirks.

The LG printer can emulate several other printers, including the EPSON FX and the IBM Proprinter XL III I'm sure that it's a problem with emulation, but I cannot seem to get this working properly.
