Following my question about multiple overlays on a same printer file, i am now looking to understand the following and make our life easier.
We are designing our overlays on microsoft word , printing them to the standard ibm afp 300 printer and installing them with iseries navigator.
When we run a report against the printer with the overlay, we open navigator and double click on the spool to see how it looks before printing.
The issue is that all the text that gets printed on the printer file itself is positioned differently on the afp workbench viewer than when it gets printed.
It seems like the printer emulator session applies its configured margin to the printed file itself and makes it rather difficult to design the position of the field values to print, since they don't look the same.
How do i emulate our current emulated printer settings on the printer file/program itself so when viewing it in navigator looks exactly the same as when printing it physically?
Thanks in advance
