3.

Create the forms document in e.g. MS-Word , which you want to use as mail
letter, but do not include any codes for position of merge records (address field).
Now create an InterForm400

®

 overlay including this document. Refer to section

Importing PCL Overlay from PC Print File page 325, on how to import the
document as an overlay in InterForm400

®

.

4.

Locate the spool file from step 2 on the AS/400, and use it to insert remap lines in
the overlay created in step 3.

5.

You can now either make a manual merge of the overlay with the forms
document and the spool file, or you can activate Auto Forms Control on the queue
for which you created the printer in step 1.

InterForm400

®

 only requires the spool entry to be of data type *ASCII, and the input data

to be PCL4, PCL5 or PCL5e (Including PCL color commands). InterForm400

®

 will add an

overlay to the print job while maintaining the formatting of the document. Therefore the
following overlay command lines will be ignored:

Tabulators
Remap Window
If-then statements
Copy management
Extended page definition

InterForm400

®

 will also ignore all global settings of the overlay (used for pre-formatting

variable spool data) except for the ROTATION. When defining *INPUT for ROTATION
InterForm400

®

 will detect the PCL orientation command in the spool file, and print the

overlay with the same orientation.

Merging of overlays and data can be done by either the APF3812 CL command,
interactively with 3. Merge spool entry with overlay, or by Auto Forms Control.

The overlay selected for merge in InterForm400

®

 will be applied to all pages in the PCL

(*ASCII) spool entry. Should you require another overlay to be applied to specific pages in
the PCL spool entry, you can insert the text string “##overlayname” in the document.
InterForm400

®

 will pick this overlay instead of the one defined in the merge definition, but
