Initial Copy for Page Format One
APU automatically creates the initial copy for page format one (the default name
for the copy is *ORIGINAL). Define the details of that first copy, as follows:
1. Specify general page layout options that includes the constant (Terms and
Conditions) back overlay (INVBAC)
2. Map data in the spooled file, such as the zip code to POSTNET bar code.
3. Add the constant text Customer Copy at the bottom
4. Place page one overlay (INVALL) on front
5. Define two additional copies, the packing list copy and file copy, by first
copying the definition of the *ORIGINAL copy
6. Change the packing list copy, suppressing pricing information and printing
Packing List as constant text
7. Change the file copy, printing File Copy at the bottom
Continuation Page Format
At this point, you have defined how page one and its copies will look. Because the
page format for the continuation pages will have a very similar layout to page one,
just copy the entire page format. The steps are:
1. Copy the page one format (PAGE1) to the second or continuation page format
(PAGEN).
2. Make the appropriate changes to the copies within this PAGEN format, such as
changing the front overlay used.

Identifying Resources
To use the following procedure, you will use the following sample resources that
are included in the QAPU library:
v An overlay that contains the lines, boxes, and shading that you want on the
preprinted form. This overlay is called INVALL in the sample in the QAPU
library.
v A page segment that contains the company logo. In the samples that are
included in the QAPU library, this page segment is called SUNLOGO.
