Printer Dependencies
Each printer has some unique restrictions. For example, some printers do not
allow the data stream to print text vertically.
See Appendix A, “Printer Characteristics” on page 413 for restrictions of each
printer.

Limitations
None.
Restrictions
IMDS (IOCA) Data Stream
Input IMDS (IOCA) data must be correct. Only IOCA function set 10 is supported.
Some parameters are checked, but some are not checked. If input IMDS data is
not correct, the result is unpredictable. It may be printed with some errors, or may
not be printed.
The bytes 3-6 (logical units per unit base) field in the Image Size Parameter Image
Order, which appears in the Image Picture Data structured field, must not be 0.
Print Operation
The content of an overlay and a page segment is not checked for whether or not it
can be printed on the destination printer.
See Appendix A, “Printer Characteristics” on page 413 for the detail of the
restrictions of each printer.
Creating Page Segment
When you replace the existing page segment by creating a page segment, the
Authority
parameter is ignored and the current authority remains.
Converting an Overlay to a Physical File Member
Note: Before you use an overlay in the target system, you should verify that the
necessary resources to use that overlay, for example, font, page segment, are on
the target system. Only transferring an overlay may be insufficient. You also
should check the version and the supported structured fields of the target system's
PSF.
An overlay which can be used on the AS/400 system cannot necessarily be used
on the target system.
Converting the Page Segment to a Physical File Member
Note: You should check the version and the supported structured fields of the
target system's PSF.
A page segment which can be used on the AS/400 system cannot necessarily be
used on the target system.
