Resource Management Utility
| The images used by the Overlay Utility and the Print Format Utility (or any AFP
| application) are stored as page segments on AS/400. These images are normally
| scanned into a client workstation. The Resource Management Utility is an
| interactive tool to:
Convert an image to a page segment.
Convert a page segment to a physical file.
Convert an overlay object to a physical file.
| Resize and rotate images as they are being created.
It also maintains AFP resource objects, such as page segments or overlay objects.
You can:
Create a page segment from a physical file member.
Create a page segment from a PC document.
