Page segments
The print quality of the page segments you currently use with AFP
may depend on how they were created originally. For example, you
may have created a page segment at 240 pel resolution but, when it
is converted to 300 dpi, it may not look like it did originally. However,
a different page segment created at 240 pel resolution may look the
same when converted and printed.
To determine if you need to convert your page segments, print a test
document to the DocuPrint IPS printer. Look at the document to
decide if the print quality is as clear as you’d like it to be. If so, you
may continue using the page segment without making any changes.
However, if the print quality is not satisfactory, you should recreate it
at 300 dpi.
The DocuPrint IPS printers support printing up to 32,511 page
segments per print job.
Overlays
You may print your existing overlays to DocuPrint IPS printers
without conversion with two exceptions:
• for overlays that include inline images, you must convert those
images to 300 dpi before printing; otherwise, the print quality
will not be consistent.
•
for overlays that include the PATTERN command, the command
may reference either an image within an overlay or a special
symbol not available in distributed fonts. You may need to
recreate the image or special font to have an identical
appearance on a 300 dpi printer. You may use a font or image
editing tool to recreate the document at 300 dpi.
IBM has distributed a PTF for OGL (UW78384) that allows you to
specify a 300 dpi font library when creating an overlay. This change
causes OGL to create overlays with a PGD value of 1440 dpi (if you
specify a 300 dpi font library). As a result, when you include a 300 dpi
page segment in that overlay, the page segment will print in color.
Note, however, that the IM images created by OGL shading
commands remain at 240 dpi.
The DocuPrint IPS printers support printing up to 32,511 overlays per
print job.
